In a candid revelation, Bollywood actor and filmmaker Farhan Akhtar recently shared that he and his wife Shibani Dandekar attended couples therapy just two days after their wedding. The couple, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony, opened up about their decision to prioritize mental health and emotional well-being from the start of their marriage.
Farhan mentioned that the decision to seek couples therapy was influenced by the realization that, despite their love, marriage brings its own set of challenges. The actor highlighted that therapy allowed them to communicate better and navigate their relationship with more understanding and empathy. He acknowledged that sometimes, small issues can snowball into bigger problems if not addressed early.
Shibani, who has always been a vocal advocate for mental health, agreed that therapy was one of the best decisions they made. She emphasized that seeking professional help doesn’t mean there are problems in the marriage but rather that they wanted to ensure their relationship remains strong and healthy.
