For Anurag Kashyap, his bond with Shubhra Shetty seems to be less about adhering to a conventional timeline and more about cherishing what feels right for both of them.
Recently, the filmmaker shared insights into his nearly ten-year relationship with Shubhra and whether marriage might be on the horizon. His response was refreshingly straightforward: Shubhra doesn’t believe in marriage, and Kashyap is perfectly content as long as they maintain the connection they have now.

What really caught my attention wasn’t just his take on marriage, but the candid way he expressed his fear of losing someone he cares about. Kashyap acknowledged that as he’s gotten older, he’s become more aware of the roughly 20-year age gap between them. He mentioned that while he used to try to brush it off, it’s become harder to overlook as time goes on.

Aug 18, 2026However, there were no grand declarations about proving anyone wrong or defending their relationship. Instead, Kashyap focused on wanting to stay healthy enough to enjoy more time with the people he loves. For him, that seems to hold far more significance than whether their relationship ever leads to a marriage certificate.
Kashyap and Shubhra first crossed paths in a professional setting, with Shubhra serving as an assistant director at his production company, Phantom Films. Their relationship eventually became public and has thrived despite the scrutiny surrounding their age difference.
Kashyap has been married twice before. His first marriage was to editor Aarti Bajaj, with whom he shares a daughter, Aaliyah Kashyap, followed by a marriage to actor Kalki Koechlin. Both unions ultimately came to an end.
In contrast, his relationship with Shubhra has taken a different path. Nearly a decade later, Kashyap seems less focused on explaining their relationship to the outside world and more dedicated to safeguarding what they’ve built together.
