Speaking with Bollywood Bubble, the Maryada actor stated that it was like sort of Jo Jeet Wahi Sikander kind of romance and that it was the real thing. Raqesh was quoted saying, “It happened when I was in college and that was my first love.

The actor went on to add that he never had the time to fall in love again. It just like coincidentally happened and he just went with the flow. “That’s why when you ask me what is love? or chasing love anything of that sort, so for me you see I’m an artist, and as I have said that it’s all about energy. When I paint it is cosmic for me it’s divine for me, so anything that has good energy is God for me and you don’t Chase God it just happens to you,” Bapat explained.

Raqesh Bapat has been unlucky in love twice. He got married to actress Ridhi Dogra but in 2019 the couple got divorced after eight of their marriage. However, both share a cordial relationship with each other and are on friendly terms. Raqesh then found love in Shamita Shetty and both looked madly in love. But their love could not sustain long as last month the actress announced their separation via a post on social media.
