Hum Aapke Hain Koun's Renuka Shahane talks about Ashutosh Rana and motherhood: 'I got married only because I wanted kids'
Loveyapa actor Ashutosh Rana tied the knot with Hum Aapke Hain Koun actress Renuka Shahane after dating for three years. The duo has been giving couple goals ever since they married, and fans are in love with them. However, did you know that Renuka married Ashutosh to just have kids. Yes, you heard that right! Renuka recently spilled the beans on her wedding with the actor and the backstory will definitely surprise you. In a recent conversation with Gauahar Khan on her podcast show MaaNoranjan, Renuka Shahane opened up on the same and shared that though they were dating, it was quite difficult for them to take such a big step of getting married. She shared they both were flourishing in their careers and content in their independent lives and leaping into marriage was a daunting prospect. With the spotlight constantly on them, they were aware that any misstep, whether in the relationship or the institution of marriage, could be magnified. The pressure of making it work while balancing fame made the decision even more complex. Renuka revealed her intention behind tying the knot and it's about starting a family. She shared, '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.' She also shared that they got married as Ashutosh's spiritual guru suggested. Revealing the same, Renuka shared, '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.' She added, '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.' Renuka Shahane further shared that the Chhaava actor revealed to her mother his intent to get married to her as his spiritual guru had suggested. Her mom was taken aback and questioned whether Rana was proposing out of genuine love or simply because his guru had advised him to. She also shared how her husband's friend came to meet her a day after she delivered her first child and asked her to shed weight. She shared, 'There are a lot of things that people don't tell you. It was so strange that a doctor, who was visiting us, happened to be a friend of Ashutosh. He and his wife came to visit me in the hospital, and the first thing he said was 'now you must lose weight'.' The actress revealed that she was taken aback after his unexpected comment right after delivering her first child. Still adjusting to the whirlwind of new motherhood, she couldn't quite grasp what kind of pressure was being referred to. The remark left her completely bewildered, especially since she had just experienced the biggest moment of experiencing motherhood for the very first time. For the unversed, Renuka Shahane and Ashutosh Rana tied the knot in 2001. The duo have been blessed with two sons Shauryaman and Satyendra.

Renuka Shahane Says Ashutosh Rana Proposed Only After Guru's Advice: ‘He Didn't Know...'
Last Updated: Renuka Shahane shares Ashutosh Rana proposed only after his spiritual guru picked her as his future wife, shocking her mother. 'Guruji ne bataaya isliye?' Renuka Shahane and Ashutosh Rana have long been admired as one of Bollywood's most grounded and graceful couples — but their journey to marriage wasn't as conventional as one might imagine. The duo, who dated for three years before tying the knot in 2001, recently opened up about the spiritual twist that brought them together for life. In a heartfelt conversation on the second episode of Gauahar Khan's YouTube podcast MaaNoranjan, Renuka reflected on their courtship and eventual marriage, revealing that Rana only asked for her hand in marriage after his spiritual guru advised him to — without even realizing she was the woman his guru had chosen. 'At the time, both of us were very much in love," Renuka shared. 'But we were also extremely happy in our own independent lives. Getting married at the peak of our careers, with so much public attention, felt like a huge step. Marriage is a scary proposition. You want everything to go right — not just in the relationship, but even after the wedding." The Circus actor went on to explain that it was a surprising spiritual nudge that prompted Ashutosh to propose. 'While we were dating, his guruji told him, 'I've found the perfect bahu for you,'" she recalled. 'Rana ji got scared — he thought, 'Who is this girl?' He had no idea Guruji was talking about me! When Guruji said, 'She is a good girl, you should ask for her hand,' only then did he approach my family." Renuka added with a laugh, 'My mom was stunned. She asked him, 'Are you marrying her because your guru told you to — or because you actually want to marry her?'" As for her own decision to say yes, Renuka explained it came from a place of clarity and love. 'I always wanted children," she said. 'I had a very clear picture in my mind about giving them a stable family. And Rana ji is such a deeply family-oriented person. When you think of having kids, you want their father to be someone like that." Today, the couple are proud parents to two sons, Shauryaman and Satyendra, and continue to lead by example when it comes to love, respect, and shared values in marriage. On the professional front, Ashutosh Rana was last seen in Loveyapa, opposite Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, while Renuka Shahane most recently starred in the Marathi film Devmanus.
