Speaking to Zoom, Maheep emphasised the need for empathy and understanding, urging people to refrain from harsh judgments. She stated, “I feel people just don’t want to step out of the box and look at that person and try to stand in his shoes and understand. Give everybody a break, everyone is not perfect, everyone is going to ** up. It’s fine.”

Supporting her friend’s choice to share her story, Bhavana Pandey added, “And it’s what she is comfortable with. That’s her choice. Everyone has to do what rocks their boat.” Maheep further said, “You can have an opinion about it but don’t be nasty about it. I also have opinions but I am not nasty about it. The kids need to know you are there, their father is there and that’s it. They need to have that comfort zone and know that this is their safe zone.”

When asked about their parenting dynamic, Maheep pointed to Sanjay as the stricter parent, attributing it to his past experiences. She explained, “I think it’s Sanjay who feels that.

Through her candid remarks, Maheep Kapoor offers a glimpse into the complexities of marriage, parenting, and forgiveness, urging empathy and understanding in the face of adversity.

About Maheep Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor’s past

In 2022, Maheep had opened up about Sanjay’s affair on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. Speaking to Seema Sajdeh, she had said, “Now you know it Seema. Initially in my marriage, there was an indiscretion that Sanjay had or whatever. I walked out with Shanaya. I stood up for myself but then, I had a newborn baby. Again, as a woman and as a mother, the first priority is my child. I owed my daughter this amazing father, which he is. I owed it to myself. And if I look back and if I broke this s**t up, I would have regretted it all my life. Because when my kids walk into my home, my husband walks into my home, this is their sanctuary. They need to feel peace. And I feel Sanjay gives that to me also.”
