Mahabharat fame Nitish Bharadwaj Announces Separation From Wife Smita After 12-Years Of Marriage: 'Divorce More Painful Than Death'
Nitish Bharadwaj got candid about his separation from his wife from 12-years, Smita and confirmed filing for divorce.
Mahabharat fame Nitish Bharadwaj announced his separation from his wife - IAS officer Smita Gate. They reportedly have twin daughters who are currently living with their mother in Indore.
In a recent interaction with the Bombay Times, Nitish Bharadwaj got candid about his separation and confirmed filing for divorce.
Elaborating about the same, he said, “Yes, I filed for a divorce in the Family Court in Mumbai in September 2019. I do not want to get into the reasons why we separated. The matter is in court right now. All I can say is that sometimes divorce can be more painful than death as you live with an amputated core.”
The two have been together for 12-years now and the couple separated in September 2019.
Expressing his thoughts on the institution of marriage, he said, “I am a firm believer in the institution, but I have been unlucky. Generally, the reasons for the breakdown of a marriage can be infinite, sometimes it’s because of an uncompromising attitude or lack of compassion or it could be a result of ego and self-centred thinking. But it’s the children who suffer the most when a family breaks down. So, the onus is on the parents to ensure that there’s minimum collateral damage that their children have to go through.”
When quizzed if he is in touch with his daughters, he said, “I would like to reserve my comments on whether I am able to meet them or not.”
Meanwhile, IAS officer and Nitish’s former wife Smita is yet to issue a statement about the split.
