He replied, “I replied what to do with a ‘good family’ marriage. He said that since I pray to Lord Rama, I should live like him. I clarified that I do not pray to any God, nor do I follow Rama’s path – if I do anything, I probably follow his father Dasharatha, who had three wives.”

Actors Trisha Krishnan and Silambarson TR (popularly known as Simbu) were asked about their approach on marriage during the same promotional program. Trisha clearly shared her stance, saying, “I don’t believe in marriage. It is fine if it happens, even if it is not, even if not.”
