Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and his longtime partner Shubhra Shetty have finally opened up in detail about their relationship, their early days of romance and the 20-year age difference between them. In a recent candid conversation with Janice Sequeira, the couple discussed several personal aspects of their life that they have largely kept away from the media spotlight.
One of the most interesting revelations came when Shubhra spoke about how her parents reacted after learning about her relationship with Anurag. Instead of facing strong opposition from her family, Shubhra said that her parents met the filmmaker themselves and formed their own opinion about him.
What made the story even more interesting was Shubhra’s revelation about the nickname her mother has given Anurag. According to her, her mother jokingly calls the filmmaker a “bakra” and believes that he behaves like a henpecked husband.
Why Does Shubhra’s Mom Call Anurag a ‘Bakra’?
While discussing her parents’ reaction to the relationship, Shubhra explained that she did not have to convince them to accept Anurag. Instead, they met him personally and made their own judgement.
She recalled her mother jokingly describing Anurag as a “bakra” because, according to her, he was apparently willing to put up with Shubhra’s ways. Her mother also considers him somewhat like a henpecked husband, turning the entire situation into a humorous family anecdote rather than a serious disagreement.
The revelation gives a glimpse into the equation Anurag shares with Shubhra’s family. It also suggests that despite the considerable age difference, her parents eventually became comfortable with their relationship.
Interestingly, Anurag also revealed during the conversation that Shubhra’s parents are only a few years younger than him. He described them as his friends, showing that the age difference between him and Shubhra has not prevented him from developing a comfortable relationship with her family.
Shubhra Says Her Parents Did Not Need Much Convincing
Relationships with a significant age gap often attract questions from families as well as the public. However, Shubhra’s experience was somewhat different.
She made it clear that she never had to sit down and convince her parents to accept Anurag. They met him, interacted with him and eventually developed their own understanding of the relationship.
This is significant because Anurag is around 20 years older than Shubhra, and their relationship has often been discussed because of this age difference. Despite the attention, the couple has continued their relationship for years.
Their latest conversation has allowed them to tell their story in their own words rather than letting public speculation define their relationship.
How Did Shubhra Shetty and Anurag Kashyap First Connect?
Shubhra also remembered the early period when she and Anurag started getting close. At the time, she was working at Phantom Films, where Anurag was one of the prominent filmmakers associated with the production company.
According to Shubhra, their connection grew through common interests. She remembered Anurag being in a particularly positive phase of his life when they became close. She described him as fit, happy and deeply interested in books and films.
Those shared interests helped them bond naturally.
Shubhra also recalled Anurag telling her that if they had met a few years earlier, she might not have dated him. However, she disagreed with that assessment and jokingly suggested that she had met him during a particularly good period of his life.
Their relationship therefore did not begin simply because of their professional connection. According to Shubhra’s recollection, their shared interests and personal chemistry gradually brought them closer.
Their Relationship Was Once Kept Away From the Media
Another interesting part of their story is how their relationship eventually became public.
Shubhra revealed that she and Anurag had initially wanted to keep their relationship relatively private. They were comfortable attending events and parties together, but Shubhra did not want their personal life to become a media topic.
However, that privacy did not last forever.
According to Shubhra, a journalist eventually discovered their relationship and reported about it, effectively bringing their romance into the public eye. She described the incident as something they had not actively planned or wanted at that stage.
The couple has since remained relatively private compared with many other celebrity relationships, which is one reason their latest candid conversation has generated so much interest.
Anurag Kashyap and Shubhra Shetty Have Been Together for Years
Anurag and Shubhra have been together for nearly 11 years, according to recent reports. Their relationship has also faced public discussion because of their age difference.
Anurag recently admitted that he was once self-conscious about the criticism surrounding their relationship. At one point, he even tried to distance himself from Shubhra because he was worried about how people would perceive their age gap. Despite those concerns, the couple stayed together.
The filmmaker has also spoken about how important Shubhra is to him and indicated that he does not want to lose their relationship. The couple currently lives in Bengaluru after moving away from Mumbai.
Will Anurag Kashyap and Shubhra Shetty Get Married?
Marriage is another subject that has attracted attention around the couple. In their recent conversation, Anurag and Shubhra discussed their views on marriage.
Shubhra reportedly does not believe in marriage as an institution, which is why the couple has not made marriage a priority. Anurag, meanwhile, has expressed that being with Shubhra makes him happy and that the absence of marriage does not change the importance of their relationship.
For the couple, their relationship appears to be more important than following a traditional path towards marriage.
Shubhra Shetty Has Her Own Film Industry Journey
While Shubhra is widely known because of her relationship with Anurag Kashyap, she also has her own professional connection to the film industry.
She worked as an assistant director at Phantom Films and later became involved in film development. She was also connected to the script of Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai, a film directed by Anurag Kashyap and starring Saiyami Kher and Roshan Mathew.
Her professional journey shows that her association with Anurag was not the only reason she entered the world of cinema. She had her own interest and experience in filmmaking and script development.
A Relationship That Continues to Make Headlines
The latest conversation has given fans a more personal look at Anurag Kashyap and Shubhra Shetty’s relationship. From their first meeting and shared love for films to their parents’ reactions and the challenges created by their age gap, the couple has opened up about several previously private aspects of their lives.
Shubhra’s revelation about her mother calling Anurag a “bakra” has particularly caught attention because of its humorous and unusual nature. Rather than describing a dramatic family conflict, the story presents a lighter side of their relationship.
After years of public curiosity about their age difference and personal life, Anurag and Shubhra now appear more comfortable discussing their journey openly. Their story continues to attract attention not just because of the age gap but also because of the way they have chosen to build a life together on their own terms.
