Saurabh Shukla on love and honesty: Hiding creates a feeling of betrayal

MUMBAI: National Award-winning actor and filmmaker Saurabh Shukla believes that honesty forms the backbone of any meaningful relationship, especially when it comes to love.

Speaking about the idea of being a “Khuli Kitab” or “an open book” in a relationship, Saurabh shared that withholding the truth often causes more serious damage than the truth itself.

“You should not hide things, at least I believe that. Hiding has a problem because once it is broken or exposed, it creates a feeling of betrayal. And I have seen this very sensitively; I’m telling you this very clearly, and I’ve understood it many times,” Saurabh, whose latest film is “Jab Khuli Kitaab,” told IANS.

According to him, the pain in such situations is not always about what happened, but about being kept uninformed.

“It’s not about the act; it’s about the fact that you were kept in the dark. That becomes a bigger betrayal,” he explained.
