Arshad Warsi on Jaya Bachchan's advice

Arshad Warsi recently opened up about marriage and recalled a piece of advice Jaya Bachchan gave his wife Maria Goretti before they got married. Speaking to Filmigyan, he shared, "Jaya is a very intelligent woman. She actually said, when Maria and I were getting married, that one of the most difficult things to do in life is to marry an actor. She told us, ‘Are you ready for it?' That's the reason why, because your job makes you do things that are not normal for a normal couple. So then you have to cross that barrier and still be with that person. So your love has to be beyond normal people's love and attention."
