Renuka Shahane reveals that Ashutosh Rana married her because their spiritual Guru chose her as 'bahu', she married him because she wanted kids
Ashutosh Rana
and
Renuka Shahane
make a wonderful couple and the duo serve an inspiration to many with their partnership. While they were dating each other for three years, they were scared to tie the knot. However, they eventually got married as Rana's guruji suggested so and told him that he has found a 'bahu'.
Renuka and Ashutosh both have been in the industry for so many years and known for their powerful performances in a number of projects.
Renuka opened up on their married in an interview on Gauahar Khan's podcast, MaaNoranjan. She said, "Although, Rana ji and I are very much in love with each other, we were also happy with our own independent lives. And, marriage is quite a scary proposition. Being in the public eye and then two of us getting married at the peak of our careers can be difficult.
One feels that nothing should go wrong, not just in the relationship, but even when you are into the marriage, you don't want anything bad to happen.
"
Further revealing the reason why they got married, the 'Hum Aapke Hai Koun...' actor said, "The only reason why Rana ji got married to me was because of his spiritual guru, he told him to. While we were dating, his guruji told him that I have chosen a bahu for you. He was scared, who is this person? He didn't know that guruji was talking about me only.

Guruji said that she is a good girl, you should ask for her hand."
She added, "Rana ji was clueless, but he actually did tell this to my mother. My mom was very shocked. She said, 'Guruji ne bataaya islie aap karahe hain ya aapko sach mein karni hai (You are marrying her because guruji said so or you really want to marry her)?''
Renuka though, had her own reasons to say yes. She said, "But, I got married only because I wanted kids. I was very happy because my idea of having a stable family background for my kids was very clear in my head. Rana ji being a very family oriented person, you want the father of your child to be like that.'

Ron Killings WWE run and financial success Born in 1972 in South Carolina, Killings started his journey in entertainment as a rapper, performing under the name K-Krush and even opening for icons like Tupac Shakur. His athleticism and stage presence eventually led him to professional wrestling, where he debuted in WWE in 1999. However, it was during his time in TNA (now Impact Wrestling) that he truly broke out - becoming the first recognized African American NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Killings returned to WWE in 2008 and quickly became a fan favorite for his comedic timing, unique promos, and his signature 'What's Up?' entrance. Over the years, he captured the United States Championship, starred in numerous pay-per-view storylines, and made the WWE 24/7 Championship his own - holding the title more than 50 times. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Amazon CFD : La clave para un ingreso extra (Conoce más) Empezar ahora Registrarse Undo His loyalty and longevity in the company also paid off financially.

The moment, orchestrated by WWE President Nick Khan, was reportedly influenced by fan backlash and support for Killings. Reintroduced under his real name, Ron Killings, the return marked a dramatic pivot in WWE storytelling and was confirmed by his son to be his final run. It was a powerful reminder of Killings' enduring legacy, one built on charisma, versatility, and deep fan connection. His estimated $3 million net worth stands as a testament to a career that entertained generations and ended on his own terms. Also Read: Top 5 best R-Truth moments in WWE

Sushmita Sen's brother Rajeev Sen breaks silence on allegations made by ex-wife Charu Asopa and not being able to meet daugter Ziana: 'We are both difficult people'
Sushmita Sen 's brother Rajeev Sen and actress Charu Asopa separated leaving fans quite heartbroken. Charu has now moved to Bikaner and said that she moved there because she cannot affort to stay in Mumbai. She had said in an interview, "I have shifted to my hometown Bikaner, Rajasthan. I have left Mumbai for now, and I am currently living with my parents. It's been more than a month since Ziana and I moved here." She also indicated that she's not getting any money from ex-husband Rajeev Sen to raise their daughter Ziana. Rajeev who has a Youtube channel has now reacted to Charu's allegations and said that due to her shifting to Bikaner, their daughter Ziana is suffering. He said, "Charu ne decision liya of moving to Bikaner joh mujhe bohot odd lagaa because she made a bold decision in a short time. She belongs to Bikaner but she took a big step in a short time. I didn't understand it. This was her decision. The reason she gave us was a financial problem and that she couldn't afford Mumbai. People asked me if I'm helping Charu financially for Ziana. It's a private thing. I am not answerable to anyone about the money I give. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo I won't stoop down to the level where I show my bank statements to everyone about how much money I've given." She added, "Do you think she cannot afford to stay in Mumbai? I know people with a salary of Rs 40-50k thousand with three children who are living in Mumbai. Having said that, I feel Charu will come back to Mumbai. She will keep getting work opportunities here so it doesn't make sense to stay in Bikaner." He reacted to the video of Charu selling clothes online and said, "I saw that video and I'm proud of her because koi bhi kaam chhota ya bada nahi hota (Every work should be respected. No work is big or small). But I wonder why was she dressed like that? She is always well dressed in all her vidoes but here, there is no make-up and she's not dressed up. Charu has never dressed up like this. 9 out of 10 times, she's well dressed with make-up. So that video of her selling clothes seemed like a set-up. Charu doesn't behave like this." Further talking about their relationship Rajeev said, "Kisi bhi relationship mein dekhoge, specially celebrity relationships that aadmi ko bohot jaldi villain banaa diya jaata hai. I'm not perfect. I will never say that Charu only has flaws and I'm innocent. I will never say that. We are just two difficult people. If you think Charu is innocent, that's not the case. Neither am I innocenent. We are all humans. We make mistakes. But koi bhi insaan ek ko bhagwaan banaade aur doosre ko giraake toh it's not logical." Talking about not spending time with their daughter Ziana, Rajeev said, "Chaahe beshak charu Bikaner chali gayi hu, I can go to meet my daughter Ziana. But I feel there has to be a healthy communication. She loves her daughter as much as I love. She's fortunate that she can spend time with her but I cannot spend time, especially now because she has moved out of Mumbai. But efforts have to come from both ends for the well-being of the child, without ego. We need to be giving each other respect." He further said, "The woman will always have a bigger role to play, especially when the child is with her. I have very limited resources. I can only do video calls, or I can go meet her (Ziana). More than anything else, I feel very bad for Ziana. At least if nothing else, there was no need for Charu to leave Bombay. Because ghoom phir kea ap log dekh lena, she will come back to Bombay. And I'm not saying for me. She will come back, she will settle down again here. " Rajeev also revealed what went wrong between them. "Charu will never say this because she thinks she is always right and I'm always wrong. He said, "We were two strong headed individuals. Ek dusre ko samajh nahi paaye. Ek dusre ko respect nahi kar paaye. Pyaar toh bohot tha. But I feel like whatever happened was for the highest good. For her and for me. When it comes to Ziana, if Charu genuinely wants a father's love for her daughter, she needs to play the bigger role because Ziana is with her. "
