The veteran actor had said that he could not afford to have more than one wife due to the rising expenses and that he has managed a decades-long marriage with his wife perfectly. Revealing his thoughts when a girl looked at him fondly, the veteran actor said:
“Main ek hi biwi se kaam chala raha hu, mehangai ka zamana hai, dusri biwi laane ki himaat nahi hai. Jo ladkiyan ab mujhe dekhti hai toh mujhe yehi khayal aata hai, ‘water water everywhere, not a drop to drink’."

Mentioning that marriage is a give-and-take process, the veteran actor added that being happily married is a myth. However, Shatrughan also revealed that he and his wife, Poonam are very happy with their marriage and stated:
“Marriage is not an overnight thing, you have to nurture it to help it grow. There is understanding, loyalty, respect and love involved from both sides. There is a give and take, and of course, there are fights. And of course, everyone thinks if they were single, life would be easier. There is no such expression as happily married, either they are happy, or they are married. In my case, I am married, and my wife is happy. Nevertheless, this arrangement is very nice.”

“As far as loyalty is concerned, she might be more loyal than me…The way marriages are breaking apart these days, I don’t know whether those people realise what kind of an effect such a thing has on family, children and their friends.”
During his appearance on the show, Indian Idol 12, with his wife, Poonam Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha revealed how Poonam’s mother initially deemed him unfit for her daughter.
