Dalljiet Kaur and Nikhil Patel
TV actor Dalljiet Kaur tied the knot with Kenya-based businessman Nikhil Patel in March 2023. However, their marriage has faced turbulence in recent months. Amidst separation rumors, Dalljiet posted a cryptic message implying that her husband might be involved in an extramarital affair. In an interview with ETimes, Nikhil addressed these allegations, stating that her departure from Kenya ‘marked the end of the relationship’ for him. Nikhil said, “In January this year, Dalljiet decided to leave Kenya with her son Jaydon and return to India, which ultimately led to our separation. We both realised that the foundation of our blended family wasn’t as strong as we had hoped, making it hard for Dalljiet to settle in Kenya. In March 2023, we held an Indian wedding ceremony in Mumbai. Though it held cultural significance, it was not legally binding. This ceremony was intended to reassure Dalljiet’s family about her move to Kenya.” (here)
He also added- “Despite our efforts, Dalljiet found it challenging to adjust to life in Kenya, missing her career and life in India. The complexities of our family dynamics became increasingly apparent… this proved to be challenging for us due to cultural clashes, different values and beliefs, and this was something that began to develop as the relationship matured… Dalljiet informed me, her son’s school and others on the day she decided to leave that she did not plan to return to Kenya… her departure marked the end of our relationship for me, and despite her concerning social media activity over the past five months, I have found closure and solace, moving forward positively.” (here)
In the latest news, Dalljiet also reportedly posted a poll to her Instagram Channel stories asking, “What’s your thought on extramarital affairs? Who is to be blamed?” Choices included; ‘The girl,’ ‘The husband,’ and ‘The wife’.
Divorce speculation about the couple began in February 2024, when they unfollowed each other and deleted posts from their Instagram accounts.
