In a recent interview with Arbaaz Khan, the actor revealed that they had once stopped communicating, adding, “I wouldn’t want to dwell on that. At the time, it was believed that something else was going on in my life. However, it was my fault because I was looking for a way out when I told her one day, “You’re too good for me, and I can’t be with you.”
He continued, “It was my error. I got carried away and fell prey to stardom. When a woman expressed interest in me, I used to believe she would never do so, and when she did, I let my guard down, as it is only natural. In a sense, Maine talaaq de diya… We cut off all communication completely, but I would later learn that she was worrying about me and my well-being. She would request that my staff feed and care for me more effectively.
They were wed at Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam’s wedding. Sonakshi Sinha, a daughter, and sons Luv and Kush are their three children.
