Another beginning

Rakesh and Pinky’s marriage was not just an accomplishment. It was a relationship sealed with promises and was marked by unconditional love. As we all know Rakesh Roshan’s career graph was not as good as other big shots of his era. It was just his formative years where he was struggling to be a good actor and filmmaker. So, that is where Pinky played a role of a wife and a true companion to empower her husband to withstand the life’s trials.

Tough times

Rakesh Roshan tasted success with his movie Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani in the 1970s. However, it is said that life rarely goes as per your plans. After the demise of his father, Rakesh was left helpless and with absolutely no support. In the 1980s and 1990s, his movies started failing at the box office and he started facing the downfall and the financial setbacks. Pinky was from a well-off family and despite the difficulties, she stood by her husband’s side. It was during the trying phase that she offered him peace, constant encouragement and unwavering support.

In love through thick and thin

The duo shared the kind of love that keeps the couple together till eternity. When things weren’t going well, they focussed on fixing the problems rather than finding faults. They took positive attributes into their stride and gave all their energy and passion to their dreams. The success of Karan Arjun is one big example of their get-up-and-go attitude.
