TV actress Dalljiet Kaur, who got married for the second time to investment banker Nikhil Patel in Mumbai last year, has returned to India with her son Jaydon. He made many cryptic posts, hinting at things not being well with Nikhil.
Now the actress' husband, Nikhil, gave his side of the story and spoke with ETimes TV. He said that Dalljiet's decision to leave Kenya with her son, Jaydon, and return to India led to their separation.
"In January this year, Dalljiet decided to leave Kenya with her son Jaydon and return to India, which ultimately led to our separation. We both realized that the foundation of our blended family wasn't as strong as we had hoped, making it hard for Dalljiet to settle in Kenya. In March 2023, we held an Indian wedding ceremony in Mumbai. Though it held cultural significance, it was not legally binding. This ceremony was intended to reassure Dalljiet’s family about her move to Kenya. Despite our efforts, Dalljiet found it challenging to adjust to life in Kenya, missing her career and life in India. The complexities of our family dynamics became increasingly apparent," he told the media.
Nikhil said his daughters have their own mother who remains irreplaceable for them, so it was a bit difficult for everyone to adjust to the blended family concept.
"This proved to be challenging for us due to cultural clashes and different values and beliefs, and this was something that began to develop as the relationship matured. My daughters have a mother who remains irreplaceable regardless of the status of the relationship between them," he said.
Nikhil further added that Dalljiet only informed him about her departure from Kenya on the day she was to leave, and this actually ended their relationship forever.
"Dalljiet informed me, her son’s school, and others on the day she decided to leave that she did not plan to return to Kenya except to collect her remaining belongings. I have safely stored these belongings for her. Her departure marked the end of our relationship for me, and despite her concerning social media activity over the past five months, I have found closure and solace, moving forward positively," he said.
Dalljiet had recently made a few posts on social media that hinted at Nikhil having an extramarital affair. But Nikhil didn't divide anything on that but said Dalljiet wants to return to his life, but it has only caused 'distress among those around him."
"Dalljiet's recent assumptions and impulsive posts on social media have caused confusion and distress among those around me. She has expressed a desire to return to my life and has crossed boundaries. Her posts have been misinterpreted, resulting in unnecessary harassment of family and friends unrelated to this situation. I hope she stops this behavior," he said.
Nikhil says this chapter is over for him, and he wishes Dalljiet all the best in her life and future.
Nikhil and Dalljiet tied the knot in March 2023. It was a second marriage for both of them. Dalljiet was earlier married to Shalin Bhanot and had a son named Jaydon.
