Shreya Ghoshal opened about how supportive her husband Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya has been.

‘He takes care of the whole house’

In an interaction with The Male Feminist Podcast, Shreya opened up about the support she received from Shiladitya and called herself ‘lucky’ to have found him. When Shreya was asked about how egalitarian she is when she is sharing her household with her husband, she said, “I got lucky, I got this guy. He takes care of the whole house. He does not even… because he loves to live on his own terms, he will wash his own dishes, he will do kitchen cleaning. And he will be upset if I do it.”

She added, “We both have worked rigorous hours the whole day, so we both are always doing our chores together. He has never demanded that why you are not here? I am not there for months sometimes. Since we were dating, he was that secure. He knew that she will be there for me. He does not have ego hassles and neither am I. So both of us are very similar that way. Our parents discuss everything and we have become very quiet, and our child is the centre our universe.”

After ten years of dating, the two tied the knot in a traditional Bengali ceremony on 5 February 2015. Six years later, in 2021, they welcomed their first child, a son named Devyaan. The family is based in Mumbai.
