Shameer Tandon roped in Javed Akhtar for a track that aims to enable parents of the young generation to come to terms with the concept of live-in relationships. “We endorse marriages; there’s nothing wrong with that. But, there’s nothing wrong with live-in relationships either. Times are changing, and the way relationships pan out today is different. It doesn’t have to always culminate in marriage. People who want to live together, don’t need the stamp of society,” says Tandon, further crediting Akhtar, the “most progressive writer of our time”, for giving his nod to work on the subject.
