Actor Nandish Sandhu clarifies on his relationship with Ankita Shorey and says she is not responsible for his divorce
Fans of Uttaran were very happy when Rashami Desai (Tapasya) and Nandish Sandhu (Veer) tied the knot in real life. However, their union was far from blissful with rumours of strife ruling the roost. The news of them separating and divorcing did not come as a surprise but actor’s reported affair with beauty queen Ankita Shorey was a shocker for many, who were unaware of this alleged angle.
The couple had been having issues from the start of their marriage. They were living apart since three years. Sources say the actor tried to make amends but she opted to live alone. She filed for divorce last year and again this year in September.
In a statement, Nandish told us, “I am not dating Ankita Shorey. In fact I am not dating anyone currently. Whenever I get into a relationship I will be vocal about it and not hide it as has always been that way for me. Rashmi asked for a divorce last year when she sent me a notice. We got together for Nach Baliye and decided to give our marriage one more chance. Things got better but post Nach Baliye this year on September 23, she again approached me for a divorce and we mutually decided to finally part ways.”
Elaborating on his relationship with Ankita, he says, “I met Ankita at a common friend’s birthday party in October end this year. We have a lot of friends in common and so bumped into each other a couple of times and hence she became like one of my other industry friends. How can a girl whom I met in October end this year be responsible for a divorce that was decided on September 23? I have consented for a divorce not because there is someone else in my life, but because I have tried my 100 percent and I have really given our marriage the best shot possible.”
Sources close to Nandish claim that the actor was wanting to part ways in a dignified manner but dragging in names of his female friends and creating false link ups has miffed the actor
