Actor Akshay Kumar once shared his views on relationships and forgiveness while promoting his 2016 film Rustom. In an interview during the film’s promotions, the actor spoke about extramarital affairs and why he believes forgiveness can sometimes be the wiser choice in long-term relationships.

Speaking to Rediff, Akshay said that relationships built over years, especially those involving children and deep emotional investment, deserve thoughtful consideration rather than impulsive decisions.

The actor stated, “It is better to forgive in a relationship because you have invested so much time in it. And there are kids involved. If you forgive your partner, you will come out as a winner.”
