Overview

• Speaking on Ranveer Allahbadia’s The Ranveer Show, Patel said she chose career over love when an early partner from a prominent South Bombay industrial family objected to her entering films.
• She said multiple suitors expected her to quit acting and “sit at home,” which influenced her decision to refuse marriage.
• Patel, 50, said she remains open to marriage if she finds someone “worthy” who supports her professional goals.
• She added that proposals still come from well‑to‑do families, including men much younger than her, and she is open to dates with partners she considers mentally mature.
• Reports place her remarks in the context of a 2023 comeback with Gadar 2, described as a blockbuster, with no new projects announced in these stories.
