Renowned filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and his partner Shubhra Shetty have recently shared intimate details about their long-standing relationship. After years of media speculation, the couple sat down for a candid conversation to discuss how they fell in love, their first date, and the complexities of navigating a relationship with a 20-year age difference.

During the interview, Shubhra shared a humorous yet revealing anecdote about her mother's reaction to the relationship. She noted that her mother jokingly refers to Kashyap as a 'bakra' (scapegoat/fool), implying he is perhaps too soft-hearted or 'henpecked' to be with her. Shubhra also mentioned how their privacy was breached by a journalist years ago, despite their efforts to keep things low-key.

Anurag Kashyap reflected on his personal journey, stating that relocating to Bengaluru—at Shubhra's insistence—has been a turning point for his mental health. He admitted that the move helped alleviate his depression, a sentiment he wishes he had acted upon much sooner.

The couple's history traces back to Phantom Films, where Shubhra worked as an assistant director.
