In the world of cinema and television relationships are fleeting and more-often-than-not momentary. Television actor Ssharad Malhotra has been in the news for his work as well as his love life. The actor’s love life first came into limelight when he broke up with Divyanka Tripathi. He recently broke up with his girlfriend of two years, Pooja Bisht. In an interview with a leading daily, Ssharad said that he is afraid of marriage but is not commitment phobic.
Talking about his relationship with Divyanka, Ssharad told the leading daily, “There’s not much I can say except that it was a beautiful relationship. But when the word ‘marriage’ popped up, I developed cold feet. It was a long time ago and I was quite immature. One gradually matures with time and experience. Yes, I have made mistakes. As human beings, we all make mistakes. I realize that now but unfortunately, it’s five years down the line. I should have realized it then, but no hard feelings. We have both moved on She looks very happy and I wish her the very best."
Ssharad also told the leading daily, “I think I am marriage-phobic. If I have been with someone for two years or seven years, clearly I am not commitment-phobic. I am with the person, I love the person and it’s all hunky-dory. In all my relationships, I have had some great moments, it’s been fantastic. We have also fought like cats and dogs, but the kind of family I come from, I know where to draw the line. In a relationship, you have your good times and then you experience the bump and you don’t know how to react. The topic of marriage comes up and you start stepping back and your partner wonders why. I don’t blame them; they are right in feeling that way. Like I have said in the past, the fault is probably mine. I always fall short of taking that final step and that’s something I need to rectify. I have to really work on that."
