Imtiaz On his marriage

Most films of Director Imtiaz Ali are based on run away marriages but he himself dindn't have one. He Says "I didn’t have a runaway marriage but I got married at the age of 23. We were from a small town, it was a Hindu-Muslim thing, nobody was really sure of what to do. Then, there was also the thought that ‘I’m seeing her so I have to get married to her.’ I soon moved cities and thought to myself that the only way we can be together is by marriage. I started the process of convincing everybody at 21, at 23 when I did get married, people were ok with it".

So it wasn’t really a runaway marriage?
We did not have to ultimately, although we did consider it. Which is why people keep running away in my movies ... that’s what you are coming to, which is fine. This thought struck me even when I was shooting Socha Na Tha.
