Medha Shankr says all arranged marriage proposals stopped post the release of 12th Fail and that though there isn't any pressure from her family, she hopes to get married someday.
Let me tell you, when I first started hearing bits of gossip about Medha Shankr, I felt like I was watching a close‑kettle friend get a little bit of the spotlight. The buzz around Medha Shankr after the film 12th Fail was more than just chatter it was literally the kind of "latest news India" that everyone in my WhatsApp groups was sharing. I remember the moment I saw the headline, my curiosity spiked and I thought, "what happened next is interesting."
Nearly three years after 12th Fail, which marked Medha Shankr's acting debut, Medha Shankr is now gearing up for the release of the sophomore feature, Ginny Wedss Sunny 2. The film revolves around two individuals a peppy Delhi girl and a shy small‑town simpleton and their families navigating the complexities of an arranged marriage. But do opposites really attract? This question has become a trending topic, and the answers Medha Shankr gave are both candid and insightful.
From Classroom Dreams to Silver‑Screen Fame
In most cases, families start thinking about marriage soon after a girl turns twenty‑one. Medha Shankr recalls how relatives would bring prospective matches before her first film happened, expecting her to meet men through arranged set‑ups. “They would keep bringing this topic up earlier. They didn’t know that Medha Shankr would end up having a successful career. They would think that acting is just a hobby for Medha Shankr and that Medha Shankr would eventually go back home after four years,” Medha Shankr says.
But all of that changed post 12th Fail. “They would bring me rishtas earlier and Medha Shankr would go, ‘What is this?’ But after 12th Fail released, everyone went quiet. They were like, ‘Achcha, iska career kahin toh jaa raha hai.’ So, now, nobody brings me marriage rishtas,” Medha Shankr states. Medha Shankr heaves a sigh of relief that Medha Shankr has a supportive family, who doesn’t hurry Medha Shankr about tying the knot.
Family Support No Pressure, Just Guidance
When asked about family expectations, Medha Shankr reveals that Medha Shankr herself is in no rush either. “There’s no pressure from home to get married. Medha Shankr’s dad has never put that kind of pressure on Medha Shankr. Medha Shankr is lucky that way. But yes, Medha Shankr’s dad does tell Medha Shankr ki time se kar lena aur jisse karni ho, usse kar lena. Medha Shankr’s dad understands that Medha Shankr’s work needs Medha Shankr at present. Abhi time hai shaadi mein. But eventually, Medha Shankr does want to get married,” Medha Shankr remarks.
It’s a relief for many of us who constantly hear about the “family pressure” narrative in Indian households. In Medha Shankr’s case, the dad’s approach is more of a gentle reminder than a nagging demand.
