Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman recently triggered a debate in the film industry over her viewpoint on 'live-in' relationships with actors now sharing their opinions on her advice to youths of the nation.

Recently, actor Mukesh Khanna, who became a household name after playing the role of a superhero 'Shaktiman' in the 90s, responded to Zeenat's opinion and was quoted as saying by India Today: "This (live-in relationship) is not acceptable in Indian culture."

"Just imagine if a boy and a girl live with each other like husband and wife before marriage, and they do not get along well, then imagine what will happen to both of them. Those who are saying such things should think before speaking," he said.

Actor Soni Razdan mocked Khanna and posted on X: "Gosh. Can’t imagine what would happen if a couple live together in a ‘live -in’ relationship and don’t get along. The mind boggles (sic).”

What did Zeenat Aman tell youths?

Yesteryear actress Zeenat Aman, who is quite regular on Instagram, recently posted on the social media platform her opinion on 'live-in relationship' and wrote: "On a different note, one of you asked me about relationship advice in the comments section of my last post. Here’s a personal opinion I haven’t previously shared - if you’re in a relationship, I strongly recommend that you LIVE TOGETHER before getting married!"

"This is the same advice I’ve always given my sons, both of whom have had, or are in, a live-in relationship. It just seems logical to me that before two people get their families and the government involved in their equation, they first put their relationship to the ultimate test," she said.
