Actor Raqesh Bapat recently opened up about his personal life on Bigg Boss Marathi 6, offering a calm and mature perspective on marriage, separation, and respect. His honest words quickly caught attention, especially when he spoke about his relationship with his ex-wife, actress Riddhi Dogra.
In a recently aired episode, the housemates were discussing marriage and long-term relationships. During the conversation, Raqesh shared advice with fellow contestant Karan Sonawane, encouraging him not to delay important life decisions. “If you want to get married, do it now. Take this leap in your life. You should experience marriage at least once,” he said.
When asked about his own marriage, Raqesh spoke with clarity and warmth. He explained that his relationship with Riddhi began during work. “I married my friend. I met my partner while I was working. We were working on the same show, became very good friends, and then decided to get married,” he said.
Raqesh and Riddhi met on the sets of the television show Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak?. Their friendship gradually turned into a relationship, and the two got married in 2011. After eight years together, they decided to part ways and officially divorced in 2019.
What stood out most in Raqesh’s statement was the mutual respect he expressed even after separation. “Even after separation, we are good friends. I always stand by her and she always stands by me,” he shared. He also revealed that neither of them has remarried since the divorce. “She has not married, and I have not married either,” he added.
By speaking openly and without drama, Raqesh Bapat offered a thoughtful take on modern relationships, one rooted in honesty, acceptance, and emotional clarity.
Raqesh Bapat and Riddhi Dogra announced their separation in 2019, clarifying that the decision was mutual and respectful. They chose privacy over controversy, ending their marriage quietly while continuing to support each other personally and professionally.
