Speaking on The Filmy Charcha Podcast, Khanna said, “I believe in marriage more than most people. People think that if you don’t marry, you don’t believe in marriage. That’s not true. I believe in the institution of marriage more than most people. A wife doesn’t just come randomly. She is written in destiny. If it was meant to happen, it would have happened by now.”

The Shaktimaan actor added that the woman meant for him already exists somewhere, and their meeting would only happen when destiny aligns. He further explained his philosophical view on marriage, stating, “According to scriptures, a wife is your prarabdh from a previous life. She comes into your life to correct your karma. Affairs can be many, but a wife is one. Marriage is the union of two souls.”

Khanna also dismissed the notion that multiple relationships define masculinity, saying he does not believe a man needs several affairs to prove himself and reiterated his respect for women.

Mukesh Khanna Criticises Ekta Kapoor

In earlier remarks, he had also criticised producer Ektaa Kapoor over portrayals of women in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Speaking to Filmy Gyan, he said, “Aapka kya attitude hai? Aapko fikr nahi hai ki aap morals ki aisi-taisi kar rahe ho, ghar ke system ki aisi-taisi kar rahe ho. Aap Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi jaise shows laate ho jismein 6 auratein jhumka-bindi lagakar bolti hain, ‘Dekhti hoon tumhari shaadi kaise hoti hai.’ All women are shown as selfish. Hamare desh mein aisi auratein nahi hain, and it still became so popular.”
