Speaking with Humans of Bombay, Kabir said, “Mini comes from a very traditional Mathur family. Religion was never really an issue and initially, Mini thought that there will be an issue in trying to convince her extended family but it’s just so beautiful how they all accepted me.”

During the initial phase of his career, Kabir used to make war documentaries in war-torn regions like Afghanistan, Palestine, etc. But he always used to make it a point to send letters and postcards to Mini Mathur. He said that this used to impress her father.

Sharing more about his marriage, Kabir added, “We had a wedding, did rituals from both sides, more for the families than for us. I am actually an atheist, so I don’t really truly believe in God and religion, so it was very easy for me to sort of accept all that.”

On the work front, Kabir’s last outing 83 was based on India’s victory in the 1983 cricket world cup. The film starred Ranveer Singh in the role of India’s former captain and all-rounder Kapil Dev while Deepika Padukone played his wife Romi. Kabir’s upcoming film is with Kartik Aaryan, which is yet untitled. The filmmaker recently revealed that the film is based on an unknown hero from India.
