Five Reasons to have a arranged marriage

1.Full family support:
For most people in India, marriage is like a family affair.Compatibility of social status, family beliefs all happen here allowing both the parties to come together for a lifetime.

2.Understanding is inevitable:
An arranged marriage is performed only after both the parties mutually decide to go ahead with the union. The process therefore involves understanding each other’s cultural interests apart from individual views and opinions about life in general.

3.Financial security:
Unlike a love marriage where financial security of the groom is not always a priority, in an arranged marriage, it is imperative that the bride’s family ensure that their would-be son-in-law is career-oriented and has a steady flow of income

4.Mystery element: Since an arranged marriage is negotiated by the parents, love happens in due course of time. And because the two people involved are more or less strangers to each other, it leaves them with an element of mystery.

5.Dating opportunity: Once the alliance is arranged, the boy and girl are officially allowed to meet and know more about each other. Fun is when the couple is given an opportunity to date with the consent of both the families.

Madhuri Dixit’s husband is the happiest man on earth :Arshad Warsi

Bollywood Actor Arshad Warsi, who has shared the screen with actor Madhuri Dixit for the first time in Dedh Ishqiya, believes the actor’s husband, Dr Shriram Nene, is the happiest man on earth to have Dixit as his life partner.

Arshad is also bowled over Madhuri’s professionalism and her happy-go-lucky nature. “I think Dr Nene is the happiest man on earth because Madhuri is absolutely divine,” Warsi said at the DVD launch of his last release Jolly LLB.

Dixit married US-based cardiovascular surgeon Dr Nene in 1999 and shifted to US. Her family then moved to India again in 2011, and she is now busy reviving her Bollywood career.

“She is beautiful and lovely. She is a thorough professional and always wears a smile on her face. She is a very positive person on the set … a great person to work with. She is a phenomenal actor,” said Warsi, praising his co-actor. The actor admits that working with Dixit in Dedh Ishqiya has been a pleasure.

Dedh Ishqiya, a sequel to the 2010 black comedy Ishqiya, is directed by Abhishek Chaubey and also features Naseeruddin Shah and Huma Qureshi.

In the prequel, Warsi played a rugged and rough character Babban. It has been Warsi’s favourite character, but he says he would rather be remembered as a good actor over one character..
