Speaking years later on an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Shah Rukh earlier shared a heartfelt story involving the Munnabhai star. 'I had fought with someone, I had nobody in the city, my parents weren't there either. Then, Sanjay Dutt came to me in his jeep and said, 'If anyone touches you, you tell me,'' he recounted. 'So he is my elder brother.' The moment, deeply emotional, revealed a side of Sanjay Dutt that doesn't often make headlines.
Behind the controversies, A man known for loyalty
Sanjay Dutt's life has often played out in the public eye, whether it was his struggles with drug addiction, legal troubles during the 1993 Bombay Blasts case, or the many chapters of his romantic life.

Jackie Shroff shares golden advice from his successful 48 year marriage: ‘Chitak ke rehne ka, aurat ko chhodhne ka nahi'
Differences between partners is nothing uncommon, but a healthy relationship requires both to stick it out and navigate differences with empathy, understanding and open communication. Jackie Shroff, who has been married to his wife for the last 48 years, agrees, highlighting the importance of staying loyal and putting in effort. In an episode of the The Guftagu with Kay Podcast, the Housefull 5 actor shared his golden marriage advice: 'Aaj bhi 48 years ho gaye hai. Chitak ke rehne ka. Jo bhi karne na chitak ke rehne ka. Aurat ko chhodhne ka nahi. Aur bachha cement hona chahiye. Tum log jo bhi jhagda karo, jo bhangdi chalti rehti hai, woh toh chalta rehta hai bey. Woh kahi aur se aayi, tu kahi aur se aaya. Jitna bhi tik raha hai, uparwale ko bolna 'thank you'.' (Today it has been 48 years. Stay stuck, no matter what you do. Do not leave your woman. And the kid should be an integral part of your family. No matter how much you fight and yell, don't let that affect your child. She came from somewhere else, you came from somewhere else. However long you've stuck it out, thank God and be grateful) Every relationship requires effort to bridge gaps in expectations and communication styles. When partners embrace each other's individuality, it can pave the way for growth and harmony. Understanding these dynamics can help couples foster healthier relationships. Psychologist Anjali Gursahaney tells 'Every relationship involves navigating differences — whether in emotional maturity, personality, or life experiences. These differences can create challenges, but they also offer opportunities for growth and deeper connection.' According to her, here's how couples can address these aspects to maintain harmony and strengthen their bond: Foster Understanding: Recognise that emotional maturity develops through experience, not age. Understanding your partner's perspective without judgement builds trust and patience. Celebrate Individual Strengths: Instead of viewing differences as problems, see them as complementary traits. For example, one partner's optimism may balance the other's pragmatism. Establish Mutual Goals: Aligning on shared values helps bridge gaps in personality or maturity, creating a united front despite differences. Every partner brings unique qualities to a relationship, some of which may initially be challenging to accept. To adapt, start by identifying what truly matters — distinguishing between fundamental incompatibilities and differences that simply require adjustment. Focus on the positives, recognising how these traits might enrich your relationship; for example, a partner's spontaneity could lead to exciting shared experiences. 'Practice patience and empathy, allowing time to adjust to each other's habits while openly discussing challenges and acknowledging their feelings. Finally, prioritize compromise by working together to find middle ground, as small changes on both sides can significantly ease navigating such differences,' highlights Gursahaney. Self-awareness and communication are vital for a healthy relationship, especially when navigating differences. Understanding your own triggers, expectations, and boundaries helps manage conflicts calmly and fosters personal growth. 'Open communication, using 'I' statements, allows you to express concerns without making your partner defensive, while active listening ensures they feel heard and respected. Regular check-ins to discuss what's working and address concerns prevent issues from escalating. If challenges persist, seeking support through couples' therapy can provide a constructive space to strengthen the relationship,' concludes Gursahaney.
