Shubhra Shetty just spilled the most adorable family tea about boyfriend Anurag Kashyap, and honestly? We’re absolutely living for it. During a recent appearance, the filmmaker’s girlfriend revealed that her mom has a hilariously cheeky nickname for him: “Bakra”, a playful Hindi term that’s equal parts teasing and genuine affection, wrapped up in the kind of love only in-laws can deliver. The kind of family roasting that only happens when someone’s officially made it.

Reportedly, Shubhra’s parents were totally sold on Kashyap from day one. Getting the parental stamp of approval? Zero drama, apparently. The whole situation screams that her mom doesn’t just tolerate her boyfriend, she actually likes him enough to joke around, give him nicknames, and make him feel like family. That’s the kind of comfort level you only find in genuinely solid relationships.

It’s these little behind-the-scenes glimpses into Bollywood’s acclaimed directors that keep us so hooked. While Kashyap’s busy crafting critically acclaimed films, his girlfriend’s mom is equally busy roasting him with affectionate Hindi nicknames at home. Living his best life, truly. GaraMasalaFM’s cameras and sources are locked in for more family gold like this.
