Marriage, divorce, dating: When Trisha Krishnan shared her honest take on relationships

Trisha Krishnan doesn't talk much about her personal life, despite the world's obsession with it.

She likes to keep that side of herself private and lets her work on screen do most of the talking.

However, on a few rare occasions, she chose to open up - and when she did, she did it with utmost honesty.

Trisha’s words carried surprising weight when she spoke about relationships, marriage and romance.

Not because they’re dramatic or scandalous, but because they’re refreshingly real.

She didn’t trim or curate her views to please the world.

Instead, she spoke with a sense of clarity that reflected her own understanding of love.

Her perspective isn’t the fairy-tale narrative we’ve all been sold for centuries, but something more nuanced and deeply human.While society has constantly peddled the fantasy of ‘happily ever after’, Trisha doesn’t believe marriage is inevitable.

Last year, during the promotional spree for her film ‘Thug Life’, the actress was asked about her views on marriage.

Then 42, she said something that conventional society couldn’t fully comprehend. “I don’t believe in marriage.

It’s okay if it happens.

It’s okay if it doesn’t as well,” she said.

For Trisha, the institution itself is neither sacred nor essential, a perspective that countless millennials and Gen Z resonate with.

She doesn’t look at the ring as a finish line; she believes that if marriage emerges organically from a genuine connection, it can still be beautiful.Trisha doesn’t really invest in the idea of traditional dating.

While dinner dates and perfectly measured conversations are nice, what she really seeks is true connection - something that matters more than the restaurant you go to dine at.

In a 2023 interview with iDream Clips, Trisha Krishnan opened up about why she doesn’t believe in conventional dating culture. “I don’t believe in stereotypical dating.

I believe in real connections.

I think of dating in a very American way - you go out, have dinner, get to know each other - but I find that a bit boring.

For me, it’s more about spontaneous conversations.

That’s how I truly get to know someone,” she said.Trisha cannot quite wrap her head around the idea of divorce.

This isn’t about romantic idealism, but pragmatism.

Falling in love, tying the knot, and later parting ways isn’t the kind of relationship she seeks.

She believes in growing old together.

In a 2016 interview with IndiaGlitz, Trisha said, “I want to feel whether this is the person I can live with for the rest of my life because I don’t believe in divorce.

I don’t want to go in for a divorce when I get married, and I’m someone who will.” The actress also added that she will “think 100 times before marriage.

I don’t believe in divorce.

I will think 100 times before marriage.

I don’t want to end up hurting someone else or living an unhappy life.”When society is constantly selling the idea of perfect marriages, Trisha sticks to a philosophy of what truly matters: finding her companion.

For her, being with someone isn’t about ticking boxes or meeting expectations.

It’s about choosing a person for the right reasons - companionship, not societal validation. “I know tons of married couples around me who are in it for all the wrong reasons.

They are extremely unhappy.

I don’t want to be in such a marriage.

I want to fall in love.

Marriage is secondary, but I definitely want to meet my companion - that I’m very particular about,” she told IndiaGlitz.Trisha may be a quadragenarian, but at heart, she has always been a fierce advocate of modern love.

She is a romantic, just not in the way society expects.

She seeks connection, not validation - because in the end, that’s the only thing that truly matters.
