Marriage Necessary Only If You Want Children, Says Avinash Tiwary

MUMBAI- Avinash Tiwary has said marriage is necessary only for those who want to start a family, adding that the institution itself is not essential for everyone.

The actor shared his views on changing social norms and relationships. “I feel that in today’s time, as our society is evolving, marriage is necessary only when you want to start a family,” Tiwary said. He added, “If you don’t necessarily desire to have a family, then as an institution, marriage is not very important. You can have a life partner; you don’t need the stamp of being married.”

Speaking about age and family planning, Tiwary said it becomes a consideration when people want children.

“If you want to have a family, then age will always be a matter of concern. That’s why people suggest that you should do it at the right time, when your body is at its best. But if you don’t want to have a family, then you don’t need to get married, it’s as simple as that,” he said.

He also said perspectives around marriage and age are changing with time and advances in medical science. “The age factor has increased, and even in our country, the percentage of people getting married has gone down. That is also one of the reasons to explore such themes through films like ‘Ginny Weds Sunny 2’ to understand why people today are choosing not to get married,” he said.

On a personal note, Tiwary added, “As far as I am concerned, I feel people around me think that my time has passed, that I am late.”

On the professional front, Tiwary will next be seen in ‘Ginny Weds Sunny 2’ alongside Medha Shankr. (IANS)
