Mahabharat fame Nitish Bharadwaj and wife divorce after 12 years of marriage

Mahabharat fame Nitish Bharadwaj who essayed the role of the iconic Krishna in the show and his wife have parted their ways after staying together for 12 years. The actor revealed that he had filed for divorce in September 2019. Not divulging details about his separation from his wife Smita Gate who is also an IAS officer, Nitish mentioned that divorce can be more painful than death. Talking to BT, Nitish said, “Yes, I filed for a divorce in the Family Court in Mumbai in September 2019. I do not want to get into the reasons why we separated.”

“The matter is in court right now. All I can say is that sometimes divorce can be more painful than death as you live with an amputated core,” the actor continued. Talking about his thoughts on the institution of marriage, Nitish said, “I am a firm believer in the institution, but I have been unlucky. Generally, the reasons for the breakdown of a marriage can be infinite, sometimes it’s because of an uncompromising attitude or lack of compassion or it could be a result of ego and self-centred thinking. But it’s the children who suffer the most when a family breaks down. So, the onus is on the parents to ensure that there’s minimum collateral damage that their children have to go through.”

Nitish Bharadwaj and his wife Smita Gate were married to each other for 12 years before they parted ways.
