Veteran actress Zeenat Aman continues to defend her support for live-in relationships, reiterating her view that couples should live together before entering marriage. In recent comments highlighted by NDTV and also reported by Times of India, Aman argues that the prospect of a longer, unhappy relationship is worse than choosing a shorter period that is genuinely positive. She says, “Rather have 5 joyous years than 15 miserable ones,” and also emphasizes that “nothing lasts forever.” The Times of India report adds that Aman’s position has drawn criticism from some other actresses, including Mumtaz and Saira Banu, reflecting broader debate around the idea of cohabitation before marriage. Despite the pushback, she states she remains firm in her belief. Across outlets, the central point is that Aman frames live-in relationships as a way for couples to understand compatibility and avoid making a lifelong commitment without clarity about shared life, while also expressing that relationships do not endure indefinitely.
