Prateik Babbar opens up about his divorce from Sanya Sagar and being an ‘absolute mess’
While talking to The Times Of India, Prateik Babbar bared it all. It was one of the first instances when he finally spoke about his divorce from Sanya Sagar and going through a rough patch. Sharing what led to the couple calling it quits, the actor said that they were in love and that’s the reason why they got married.
Being respectful to his ex-wife and the relationship he shared with her, the Chhichhore actor said that they were two different people and didn’t have time to figure each other out. “I think it is extremely important to figure each other out before you jump into a marriage or something concrete. It (The marriage) was rushed. There was some family pressure. I was 32, and I wanted to have kids by 35,” he revealed.
Their divorce came through in January 2023 which was heartbreaking to him. Recalling how he was an ‘absolute mess’ for the longest time, the India Lockdown actor divulged that he got married for all the wrong reasons. “We thought we would figure out love and compatibility on our way. It doesn’t work like that. You need to figure out everything before. Emotional frustrations led to bad choices and decisions. I felt betrayed in my marriage. But if that marriage had not failed, I wouldn’t have met the woman in my life today,” he concluded on a positive note.
