Murad also spoke about his marriage to Shahrukh Murad, revealing that he agreed to marry her without ever meeting or even seeing a picture of her, trusting his mother’s choice completely.

“I got married in 1982. I wanted to get married early. I thought I would get married at the age of 25-26. So the search for a girl was going on. I couldn’t find the girl I wanted. And when I saw many girls, I saw some shortcomings in some or the other. I am not saying that I am perfect or that I am very good. But when a person thinks about his life partner, he thinks that they will spend their whole life together. So the bride is the one who has a loving heart”, he shared

“Anyway, my mother said, ‘You have seen a lot of girls and rejected a lot of them. Now I am going to see a girl for you’. So she went to Bhopal. And in Bhopal, she saw my future wife. She liked her. And she came back and said, ‘I have seen a girl for you, you meet her’. I said ‘No, I have full faith in your choice, you cannot choose a wrong girl for me’. I did not even see her photograph. I was so confident about my mother’s choice that that would never go wrong”, Murad shared.

Raza and his wife are doting parents to their daughter, Ayesha and son Ali. (ANI)
