Krishna Shroff, the daughter of actor Jackie Shroff, recently opened up about her live-in relationship with MMA fighter Abdul Azim Badakhshi from Afghanistan. Their relationship began after they met at a fight event in Mumbai, where they connected over Instagram. Despite language differences—Shroff speaks English and Badakhshi speaks Persian—they communicated for eight months through video calls before meeting in Goa. After spending two emotional weeks together, they decided to move in after just three weeks of being together in Delhi.

Counseling psychologist Athul Raj provided insights on navigating live-in relationships, particularly the challenges posed by language barriers and cultural differences. He emphasized that excitement can often mask the reality of daily life together, and couples should be prepared for potential disagreements and differing habits. Open communication about finances, boundaries, and personal time is crucial for a successful transition to living together. Raj also noted that healthy relationships involve mutual influence, where both partners feel valued and present.
