When asked whether marriage was something he saw happening in the future, Akshaye said he did not consider himself suited to that life. He said that marriage would mean making major changes to the way he currently lives and sharing control over his life with another person. “I don’t see myself (getting married), I’m not marriage material, as they say. I’m not cut out for that kind of… (we ask if it’s commitment)… not that, but that kind of life. It’s a commitment, but a drastic lifestyle change. Marriage changes everything. I want full control over my life. When you share your life with somebody else, you can’t have full control. You have to give a lot of control away. You share each other’s lives.”
The actor was also asked whether marriage was simply a personal choice shaped by his private nature. He said there was no particular incident or reason behind his decision and that he had always been that way, even as a child.
He Also Ruled Out Having Children
Akshaye was asked whether he would consider adoption if he did not marry. He gave a similar answer, saying he did not want the lifestyle changes that come with raising children either. “I’m not cut out for that life; for sharing my life. Whether it’s getting married, or having kids. That too drastically changes your life. Everything important to you becomes less important, because the child gains utmost importance. That kind of changes life… and those kind of alterations that you have to make in your life are not the things I want to do. I’m not willing to give up. I don’t think even in future I will be willing to do (that).”
