Veteran actress, Aruna Irani has etched a name for herself with her movies and songs and is best known for her vampire-like roles. It was in 1990 when she got married to Kuku Kohli, a filmmaker who had launched Ajay Devgn in the movie, Phool Aur Kante. Aruna had earlier loved Mehmood, but as he was married, his wife did not allow both of them to work. They parted ways as Aruna wanted to settle down, but Mehmood could not fulfil the same. Aruna then became Kuku’s deewani, who was also married. The actress shared why she did not have kids with the filmmaker despite being married.
Aruna Irani reveals not having the courage like Neena Gupta to have kids with Kuku Kohli
For the unversed, veteran actress, Neena Gupta had Masaba with West Indies cricket legend, Vivian Richards while being unmarried. Now, Aruna, in a recent interview with Lehren, shared that she was her dad’s second wife’s daughter, as her dad got married twice. When Aruna’s dad first married, his wife could not produce kids and then when he married for the second time, Aruna was born. In her words:
“Woh mujhe pasand nahi tha. Mujhe aisa lagta tha. Ke mere bacche woh face nahi kare. Aaj kal toh shadi nahi bhi hui thi tab bhi you can have a child. Neena Gupta ji ko dekhke mujhe lagta hai yeh courage hai. I didn’t have the courage. I didn’t want my child to face anything. A child’s mind goes through a lot. Bacche ke bagair mujhe chal jayega but I didn’t want my kid to suffer.”
