After divorcing actor-director Sohail Khan in 2022, Seema Sajdeh, who rose to fame on Netflix’s Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives, has talked candidly about her life.
Seema talked about her divorce’s emotional journey, her relationship with her kids, and her views on marriage and adultery in a recent interview with Janice Sequeira.
Seema emphasised how constant conflict in a marriage affects children and said, “When you’re in a marriage where you’re constantly bickering and at each other, you’re not giving your 100% to your kids also. They’re losing out. Seeing this irritable parent in the house, the atmosphere is tense, you can literally cut it with a knife because it’s so thick.”
The fashion designer explained that marriage breakdowns typically result from accumulated issues rather than single events.
Surprisingly, she revealed an unconventional view on infidelity, “I’m saying honestly, an affair is not a deal-breaker. We are human. You grow from it. And it also depends on what type of affair it was. Even if you’re thinking about someone, you’ve anyway cheated. The deal-breaker actually is to see how the two of you are going through life. Life is short, live it and be happy. Laughter is the best medicine, and the day you stop laughing together, it’s over.”
Seema acknowledged the personal growth that came with her divorce journey, reflecting on her initial tendency to place blame. She shared, “You should be able to reach a point where you like that person again. You shouldn’t hate that person… You tend to get so complacent in a marriage. At that time if you’d asked me, I would’ve blamed everything on him.”
“Sohail and I may have moved on, but we have two kids, and at the end of the day, if it is their family, it is also mine,” she stated in a previous interview with India Today. We are a family. I will always be linked to and attached to them. I have lived in the residence for a long time. I think that being in that marriage for so long has greatly influenced who I am now. I can only be appreciative of it.
An intriguing development is that Seema has resumed her romance with Vikram Ahuja, the man she broke off her engagement to before being married to Sohail Khan. She reconnected with him after her divorce and is now dating him.
