Actress Neha Dhupia recently revealed a surprising anecdote about how a simple adjustment to a painting in her home, suggested by her mother-in-law, helped resolve a fight with her husband, Angad Bedi.
The Tale of Two Paintings
During a recent house tour with Pinkvilla, Neha Dhupia pointed out a unique artwork in her Mumbai home. It featured a face divided into two separate frames.
Initially, these two frames were positioned back-to-back near their dining area. It was a design choice Neha had made.
Mother-in-Law’s Symbolic Insight
Neha shared that Angad’s mother noticed the arrangement and questioned it. She pointed out that the paintings were not facing each other.
According to her mother-in-law, if the paintings faced each other, it symbolized agreement, love, and understanding in the home. Neha initially dismissed this idea, thinking it was just about design.
When Art Mirrored Life
“Aisa kuch nahi hota hai (It doesn’t work that way),” Neha recalled telling her mother-in-law. However, shortly after this conversation, Neha and Angad found themselves in a squabble.
Her mother-in-law promptly reminded Neha of her earlier words. She then instantly rearranged the paintings, making them face each other. Neha revealed that soon after the paintings were re-positioned, she and Angad “kissed and made up.”
A Whirlwind Romance
Neha and Angad’s love story itself has been quite unconventional. They were long-time friends, and their journey from friendship to marriage took everyone, including themselves, by surprise. They went straight into marriage without a traditional dating period.
Neha has previously shared that she realized her feelings for Angad just before leaving a show, and their parents quickly arranged the wedding. She even had to scramble for a last-minute outfit for her big day.
Growing Their Family
The couple tied the knot in May 2018. They soon welcomed their daughter, Mehr, in November of the same year, and later, their son, Guriq, three years later.
Neha has spoken about the questions they faced regarding their quick marriage and pregnancy, but she maintains that everything worked out exactly as it was meant to be for their family.
