Anup Jalota reveals he wouldn’t marry Jasleen Matharu even if he was 35: ‘Her dressing wouldn’t be appreciated in my family’

Chandigarh, October 11
Former Bigg Boss contestants Jasleen Matharu and Anup Jalota have made headlines once again. Recently, the two attracted attention when a picture of them—dressed in wedding attire—went viral on all social media platforms.
Reportedly, Jasleen and Anup had entered the Bigg Boss house as a couple, but later it was revealed that their relationship was like a “guru and shishya”.
Once they revealed, that the “wedding picture” was for a shoot, Anup told ETimes in an interview, that he wouldn’t marry Jasleen even if he was 35.
“Her modern and glamorous dressing wouldn’t have been appreciated in my family culture,” he said, quick to explain that he wasn’t judging her dressing style. “I am just saying it wouldn’t have gone down well with the people around me. Hum toh dhoti-kurta wale hain (dhoti-wearing man) who sings devotional songs. How would Jasleen’s avatar have been in sync with that?” he said.
He added that once the picture went viral, several people congratulated him.
“I have been telling them ‘Aapko bhi mubarak ho’ (congratulations to you too). What else do I tell people who believe forwarded messages and misconstrue whatever they see online? Those who’re clearly asking if Jasleen and I have got married to each other, I am definitely telling them a clear ‘No’.”
The picture was originally shared by Jasleen herself, but was later revealed to have been taken for an upcoming film, titled ‘Woh Meri Student Hai’, in which he plays Jasleen’s father.
“It’s not as it looks like. This is a part of the scene from my upcoming film Woh Meri Student Hai. It’s a dream sequence where Jasleen is getting married and I am her father,” he had told India Today.
Jalota will be sharing screen space with his “Bigg Boss 12” housemate Jasleen Matharu in Kesar Matharu’s film, “Woh Meri Student Hai”. — With IANS
