Director Puri Jagannath emphasized the importance of valuing family over love during a recent discussion as a part of his ‘Puri Musings’.
“Numerous individuals experience heartbreak in their lives. They lose their hunger, struggle to sleep, and harbor an inexplicable fire within. Some resort to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Despite the solace offered by friends, the pain persists. Tears flow incessantly, creating a living hell. It’s distressing when the object of our affection fails to reciprocate. But, in truth, it’s not purely love—it’s ego. The greater the ego, the deeper the suffering. It’s a harsh reality. Blaming others for our misery only worsens the torment.”
He continued, “Instead, we should recognize the unconditional love of our mothers. Have we ever shed tears for them? Would we willingly sacrifice for them? No. All our love is only for sex and romance. Why do we only seek beauty in our partners? Could we love someone without limbs as passionately?”
He says, “When in love your girl looks like a goddess born for you. You want to die if she doesn’t agree. If she marries you, both won’t be together for even two years. The passion is satisfied. New desires begin. After marriage, the way of looking at the girl changes. According to science, attraction between male and female lasts only for 18 months.”
Puri says, “Can all those who love and get married promise not to see any other girl? Can’t do it. To love, to quarrel at home… all this is normal. We enjoy these dramas more. Have you ever seen girls who failed in love? They never cry. Very practical. They move on as per the situation. Boys should learn from them. Failing in love is always good. It makes a man strong. But, don’t cry and beg before any girl to love you…You are crying so much today because you lost your love. After a year it will seem like a very small thing.”
“If a girl cheats… use that pain to advance your career. Loneliness is better than love. Eat alone, travel alone. You will laugh at yourself after a few years. You will only make jokes about your love failure. Many celebrities who got married for love got divorced. Compared to them.. our love stands nowhere. If you fail in love, avoid crazy and suicidal thoughts. Remember that you have a family that believes in you,” remarked Puri Jagannadh.
Puri Jagannadh’s next ‘Double iSmart’ starring Ram Pothineni and Sanjay Dutt is expected to be released soon.
