Ridhi Dogra On Divorce From Raqesh Bapat: ‘Separating Saved Our Friendship’

Breakups are never easy, especially for celebrity couples whose personal lives play out in the public eye. While fans celebrate their love stories, they also watch closely when things go south. It takes

maturity and grace to handle such moments, and Ridhi Dogra and Raqesh Bapat have shown exactly that.

The couple married in 2011 and got divorced eight years later in 2019. In a recent podcast on Balaji Telefilms’ YouTube channel, Ridhi opened up about their divorce and revealed that despite parting ways, they continue to remain friends.

The Decision Of Separation Saved Ridhi And Raqesh’s Friendship

Addressing the many narratives surrounding her divorce from Raqesh, Ridhi shared that the two continue to share a strong bond. She explained that stepping away from the marriage actually helped preserve their friendship. While they weren’t compatible as life partners, they were, and still are, excellent friends who deeply trust one another. Ridhi added that they can confide in each other, protect one another’s secrets, and always stand up for each other when it matters.

The former couple remains close, genuinely wishing each other happiness, and continues to speak warmly and respectfully about one another. When Raqesh took part in Bigg Boss OTT Season 1, Ridhi wholeheartedly supported him, proving that their bond remained strong despite their separation.

Ridhi And Raqesh: On The Professional Front

Ridhi has firmly established herself in the digital and film space after winning audiences over with her successful television career. With films like Jawan and Tiger 3, and popular web series such as Asur and The Married Woman, she has been on an impressive professional run, consistently delivering noteworthy performances.

Raqesh, too, has remained active in the entertainment industry, making strong appearances across television and reality shows. His most recent Marathi fiction TV show was well received, and he is currently a part of Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6.

While both are in a great place professionally, their emotional maturity in handling their relationship even after it ended has been truly commendable. At a time when celebrity breakups often turn messy in the public eye, Ridhi and Raqesh chose dignity instead. They have never allowed their marital differences to erode mutual respect, friendship, or goodwill toward each other, which definitely sets a refreshing example.
