Raqesh and Riddhi were together for the longest time before they announced their separation in 2018. The couple was married for several years. They released a mutual statement clarifying that it was a personal decision taken by then and they continue to be cordial. When we asked Raqesh if he is prepared for his personal life being discussed in BB or used against him, he said that whatever happened in his personal life is out there in open. “My personal life has been very straightforward. It was nothing that you can discuss or pelt stone at. We have been completely out there about why the breakup happened and the divorce that followed, was out and we have explained to everyone. It was respectfully done.”
