Amid the recent obsession with celebrity weddings, actress Aishwarya Lekshmi is making headlines for her refreshing and independent outlook on life. During a recent promotional interaction for her family drama 'Maaman,' the Kerala-born star opened up about why she no longer views marriage as a milestone for fulfillment.

Aishwarya Lekshmi's marriage views

Speaking with Cinema Vikatan about marriage, Aishwarya Lekshmi shared that her views differ from the traditional mindset. She said that she does not feel the need to get married. According to her, a relationship should be built on understanding, trust, and respect between two people. However, she opines that legal marriage is not the only thing that fortifies a relationship. Besides, she added that many people can survive ideally without marriage, and everything is a matter of personal decision. The 'Maaman' actress also noted that she is not against marriage but considers it a voluntary involvement. In the interview, she noted that some individuals might feel safe or even famous in a marital distance; someone might envision a life without companionship.

"In my 34 years of life, I have witnessed numerous marriages. However, the number of couples among them who are truly and genuinely happy is quite low. It seems to me that, for many, there is a lack of personal growth within their lives. Consequently, I have no interest in marriage. In my youth, I harbored many dreams about marriage; however, as time passed, my perspective shifted, and I arrived at the conclusion that marriage is not an essential requirement for a fulfilling life," the actress stated.

"I have absolutely no intention of getting married. It is true that one desires a life partner. However, a situation where both individuals within a marital life lack peace and contentment should never arise. Therefore, I believe it is better to be in a relationship without entering into marriage," the actress further revealed,
