Actress Shibani Dandekar has shared many things about her married life in a recent interview. She is married to film director, producer and actor Farhan Akhtar. Shibani told that after marriage, she and Farhan took couple therapy. Both got married in 2022. Before this, they dated each other for three years.
Before meeting Shibani Dandekar, Farhan Akhtar was in a married relationship with Adhuna Bhabani, with whom the actor has two daughters Shakya and Akira. However, after separating from Adhuna, Farhan found love for the second time in the form of Shibani Dandekar. The two dated each other for many years and got married in an intimate wedding function in 2022.
Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar got married according to Christian customs. After two years of marriage, Indian-Australian singer, actress and host Shibani has revealed why she and Farhan went to the therapist for couple therapy two days after the wedding.
In fact, Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar took couples therapy before starting a new chapter of their life. Both took therapy for 6 months before marriage. Not only this, both of them reached the therapist just two days after the wedding, which surprised her too. In Rhea Chakraborty's podcast, Shibani said, “I think we started couples therapy six months before or after the engagement. It was not like one person was convincing the other for this. It seemed like it was a sensible thing to do. We got married on Monday. We did the signing on Monday itself and our next scheduled appointment was on Wednesday. I remember when we went in, our therapist said, 'Why are you guys here? You got married just 24 hours ago?”
Shibani said that taking therapy is very important in her and Farhan's relationship. Now he goes to therapy sessions like the gym and it has become a part of his life. The actress said, “It's like going to the gym. You have to keep working on it. We go for sessions twice a week. Sometimes we go there and just see each other. We feel that we have nothing to talk about. There are days when even an hour is not enough to tell or talk about each other.”
Shibani said that many times they fight and both of them end their fight during the session. Both of them just wait for Wednesday so that they can take their therapy. It is known that Farhan and Shibani dated each other for about three years before marriage.
