\"'GinnyAvinash Tiwary, after O\u2019Romeo, appears in ‘Ginny Weds Sunny 2’ opposite Medha Shankr, a romantic\u2011comedy sequel exploring arranged\u2011marriage chaos and mismatched families. In a chat with News18, he reflects on his own arranged\u2011marriage experiences, meetings, family pressure, and humorously sets a 2026\u2011end deadline to get married. Following \u2018O\u2019Romeo\u2019, Avinash Tiwary<\/a> is set to appear in \u2018Ginny Weds Sunny 2\u2019 alongside Medha Shankr. The film centres on a spirited Delhi girl and a reserved small-town boy, along with their families, as they deal with the ups and downs of an arranged marriage. Recently, Avinash also shared his thoughts on arranged marriages.<\/p>\n

Avinash Tiwary opens up about arranged marriage experiences<\/p>\n

In a conversation with News18, Avinash said, \u201cAbb woh bhi nahi hogi because if I was supposed to have an arranged marriage, it would\u2019ve happened by now”. Over the years, he experienced the usual process of his family introducing him to potential matches, but none of those meetings culminated in marriage. Recalling one such encounter, he shared, \u201cThis one time, my younger sister pushed me to go and meet someone. I had also pushed her to get married and she was just returning the favour after she had tied the knot. I went to meet this really nice person. We sat and spoke for three-and-a-half hours. At the end of the date, I dropped her home.”<\/p>\n

Avinash Tiwary recalls pressure after first meeting<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next day, people in my family were asking me what I thought of her. I told them, \u2018It was chill and I had a great time, but how do I make a decision after meeting someone once?\u2019 They insisted that I meet her again. But meeting again would be another step towards marriage. That felt like too much pressure,” Avinash says. He further explains that just meeting and conversing with someone doesn\u2019t feel sufficient to take such a big step. \u201cI can speak to anyone for three-and-a-half hours. I didn\u2019t understand how to figure that someone\u2019s the one by meeting them for even six-seven times. I don\u2019t think this system really works. But yes, if you don\u2019t meet people, your chances of finding the one decreases,” he adds.\u201cIt also helps with your confidence. But in our profession, we interact with so many people. Teen ghante kisi ke saath bhi achche nikal sakte hai(Three hours can be a good time with anyone). That\u2019s why I couldn\u2019t take a call about marrying her,\u201d he says. He also shared that there was a phase when he was keen on getting married, but his family held him back, considering he was too young at the time. This was during the early days of his acting journey.<\/p>\n

Avinash Tiwary shares family pressure over the years<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore they thought of getting me married, I decided to get married. This was some 18 years ago. I felt ready for it. But they didn\u2019t think that I was. Abb bechaare bhugat rahe hai(The poor guy is suffering). That\u2019s why I remain unmarried even now. In the last few years, they\u2019ve been after me to get married a few times. Then they gave up, came back again, then gave up again,” he says.<\/p>\n

Avinash Tiwary sets 2026-end marriage deadline<\/p>\n

Avinash humorously reveals that he has now set a new deadline for himself by the end of this year. \u201cSometimes, they tell me that unke bas mein abhi yeh raha nahi. But for the past two-three months, they\u2019re at it again. My mother calls me every day and tells me, \u2018Beta, iss saal karlo. Aath mahine reh gaya. Winter mein karlo.\u2019 I\u2019ve promised her that I surely will get married and won\u2019t let her die before that happens,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
