Mumbai: Amid a string of high-profile separations in the entertainment industry, television actress Hina Khan and her long-time partner Rocky Jaiswal have shared how they navigate ego and maintain a strong relationship.
In a recent interview with IANS, the couple opened up about how ego, if left unchecked, can damage even the most loving partnerships. “Ego destroys relationships,” said Rocky. Hina agreed, adding, “Absolutely. In the beginning, small ego clashes can happen, but as you grow together, you realize that love and understanding are more important than self-importance.”
The duo also spoke about how they handle disagreements. “Honestly, we hardly fight. Maybe once a year,” Hina said with a laugh. “When it does happen, I give him the silent treatment.”
Rocky added, “And I prefer to talk and sort things quickly.”
Their comments come at a time when several well-known television couples have announced separations.
Lataa Saberwal and Sanjeev Seth, known for their roles in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, recently confirmed their split after 16 years of marriage. Lataa, who played Hina Khan’s on-screen mother in the show, shared the news via Instagram Stories and asked for privacy. “After a prolonged silence... I declare that I (Lataa Saberwal) have been separated from my husband (Mr Sanjeev Seth). I give gratitude to him for giving me a lovely son. I request everyone to please respect my and my family's peace and not to ask any questions or call regarding this. Gratitude,” she wrote.
In 2022, actors Indraneil Sengupta and Barkha Bisht ended their 14-year marriage. Recently, Barkha accused Indraneil of cheating and claimed he walked away from the marriage on his own.
More recently, rumors have been swirling about trouble in the marriage of actress Hansika Motwani and Sohael Khaturiya. Reports have suggested the couple may be facing challenges, with some speculating about a possible separation.
