Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, known for Shaktimaan, has shared his views on marriage and relationships. At 67, he is unmarried but says he believes in marriage and destiny.

Mukesh Khanna on marriage and destiny
Mukesh Khanna said he believes marriage is not something that happens randomly but is already written in destiny. He explained that he still remains open to marriage if he meets the woman destined for him.
He said, “I believe in marriage more than most people. People think that if you don’t marry, you don’t believe in marriage. That’s not true. I believe in the institution of marriage more than most people. A wife doesn’t just come randomly. She is written in destiny. If it was meant to happen, it would have happened by now. The woman I am destined to marry already exists somewhere. When destiny brings us together, it will happen.”
Karmic beliefs and true love
The actor further explained that, according to his beliefs, marriage is a karmic bond linked to past lives. He said, “According to scriptures, a wife is your prarabdh from a previous life. She comes into your life to correct your karma. Affairs can be many – but a wife is one. Marriage is the union of two souls.”

Mukesh Khanna also said that, in his view, true love happens only once in a lifetime, while other relationships are often short-lived infatuations. He stated, “Love happens only once. The rest is infatuation or desire. If you say ‘I love you’ to one person and then go to another, you are being ungrateful.” He also shared his perspective on love, stating that true love happens only once and other connections are often temporary emotions or attraction.
Views on relationships and commitment
Mukesh Khanna also spoke about relationships, saying he does not believe in having multiple romantic partners to prove masculinity. He said that real strength lies in values and respect rather than the number of relationships. He also clarified that he holds deep respect for women and is not against them in any way.
