VJ-turned-actress Shibani Akhtar is married to actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar and the couple keeps setting relationship goals on the social media ever since they have been together. Shibani married Farhan in 2022 after dating him for three years. Do you know that Farhan and Shibani went for couple therapy a few days after marriage? The model and actress recalled it by saying that their therapist was surprised that they had come 24 hours after their wedding.
During a recent chat with Rhea Chakraborty on her podcast, Chapter 2, Shibani spilled the beans about taking couple therapy with Farhan both before and after marriage.
Recounting her therapy sessions after the wedding, Shibani said, “We got married on a Monday. Our signing was on a Monday and our next scheduled appointment was on a Wednesday. I remember we walked in and our therapist was like, ‘Why are you guys here? You just got married like 24 hours ago’?”
The Noor actress said that the couple did these therapies around their courtship time. “Couples therapy is like going to the gym: you have to keep working on it,” she said.
Shibani remembered the time when couples couldn’t find anything to talk about in therapies, and they just looked at each other. Sometimes they needed more than an hour to talk about their relationship, she added.
