Delnaaz, who is nine years older than Percy, has often faced criticism for their age gap, but she continues to live life unapologetically on her own terms.

In a recent interview with one of the media houses, the 53-year-old actress opened up about why the couple has decided not to get married, despite being deeply committed to each other. Delnaaz revealed that both she and Percy have gone through difficult past relationships. She said, “Percy is also divorced. His divorce was very bitter. Although he was initially excited about marriage, his doubts were strong, especially because he is nine years younger than me. When you’re emotionally broken and someone new enters your life, it takes time to understand and trust again.”

She added, “It takes a lot of courage to pick yourself up and love someone again. I always say I don’t want to put any label on our relationship because it’s so sacred. To him, I’m not an actress, I’m just me.” Calling Percy her biggest blessing, Delnaaz said, “He’s like an angel who took care of me, brought back my laughter, supported me, and took away my insecurities. He made me believe in love again. It feels meaningless to name this relationship. We are life partners and companions.”

She further added, “Even if I signed a piece of paper today, nothing would change. Because to me, he’s already my husband. My heart and soul are with Percy.” Delnaaz also revealed that she and Percy are deeply spiritual and believe in astrology and tarot cards. “Everyone we met said the same thing, ‘Stay the way you are, don’t get married.’ It’s like a doctor telling you not to do something for your own good. For me, marriage was like a seal that could change the energy between us, and I didn’t want to risk losing Percy.”
