Isha Koppikar recently broke her silence about her divorce from hotelier Timmy Narang. The couple, who had been married for over a decade, officially parted ways last year. Earlier this year, Timmy confirmed the divorce to The Times of India following growing speculation on social media. The separation has undoubtedly impacted their 10-year-old daughter, Rianna, and Isha candidly shared the emotional journey behind their split.
Reflecting on the dissolution of her marriage, Isha explained to Times of India, "I really cannot pinpoint what went wrong... we just kind of drifted apart. It was his decision, he said, 'This is not working out.' And I said, 'Okay, fine.' Then, we just parted ways. Only mature people can take decisions like these... It was easy for me not to give him a divorce, but that would go against my values. We separated amicably. It was very tough for me. I wanted some answers, which I got from the universe. I'm very spiritual. What's the point of being together and then bickering and fighting constantly? After all, when something stagnates, it stinks... even water."
One of the most challenging aspects of the separation was communicating it to their daughter, Rianna. Isha expressed her disappointment with how Timmy handled the situation, accusing him of being "irresponsible." She shared, "It was irresponsible of him because I wanted Rianna to accept it slowly. I wanted to bring it up with her in a different way, but before that, he spoke about it. He later agreed that it was a blunder and apologised for it."
Timmy, in his earlier statement to The Times of India, provided a straightforward confirmation of their divorce. He said, "After contemplating divorce for almost a year and a half, we proceeded to file for it. The divorce was granted in November last year and it was on amicable terms. Both of us are now free to move on with our lives, which is a fact. So, I don't see why there should be any confusion regarding that. While I haven't read the latest report, considering the legal option isn't even an option because the divorce has already come through. It's as simple as that." He also mentioned that Isha has moved out of his house with their daughter, Rianna.
Isha and Timmy's love story began in November 2009 when they got married after falling in love at a gym. Before they officially started dating, the two had known each other for three years. Their daughter, Rianna, was born in July 2014.
