Barkha Bisht and Indraneil Sengupta have always been very private about their divorce after 14 years of marriage, which ended in 2022. The couple, who first met on the sets of the TV shows Pyaar Ke Do Naam: Ek Radha Ek Shyam (2008) and Doli Saja Ke (2008), separated three years ago. Despite never acting in a film together, they shot a project during the lockdown along with their daughter, Meira. Their film Chalti Rahe Zindagi, which explores the lives of three families living in a society, will be released soon.
In a chat with Zoom, when asked about working with Indraneil, Barkha said, “Firstly, Indraneil and I have not worked together post our separation. This film was shot before that. We haven’t shot together. I really doubt we will in the near future. It’s very individual because some people have a great equation even after separating, some people don’t. Unfortunately, Indraneil and I don’t have that equation yet, for various reasons.”
She however said that she would like to be “friends” with him. She added, “Having said that, I know that I would love to be in some equation. Now that it has been four years since we’ve been separated, I think I have moved on from the past and I would love to be friends with him someday because he’s a great person, he’s a really nice man. Despite everything that has happened, I can’t take that away from him. I have spent 15 years of my life with him and I would love to be friends with him some day. And, I think the day that happens, whether we work together or meet each other at social events, I don’t think it will be awkward then. But like I said, it’s a very personal choice people have to make to build on that equation. I think some day it will happen.”
