Mumbai — National Award-winning actor-filmmaker Saurabh Shukla believes the idea of a “perfect” relationship or marriage is nothing more than a myth, stressing that imperfection is what truly shapes human connections.
Sharing his thoughts, the veteran actor said perfection in any form is unrealistic and even uninteresting. According to him, people are naturally imperfect, and those imperfections should be celebrated rather than fixed. He added that the absence of perfection actually keeps relationships alive by leaving room for growth and change.
Shukla remarked that perfection can be “boring” because it offers no opportunity for improvement, whereas imperfection allows individuals to evolve. He also reflected on life more broadly, saying that from a human perspective, the only absolute certainty is death, which he described as the only “perfect” truth, while everything else remains uncertain.
The actor’s latest release is Jab Khuli Kitaab, which revolves around an elderly couple, Gopal and Anusuya, whose long-standing marriage is shaken by a revelation. The story blends humour and emotion as the family navigates love, companionship, forgiveness and rediscovery.
Over the years, Shukla has delivered memorable performances in films such as Satya, Nayak: The Real Hero, Yuva, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Barfi!, Jolly LLB, Kick, PK, Jolly LLB 2 and Raid.
He will next be seen in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer King.
