Known for his performance in hit TV shows like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and CID, actor Hrishikesh Pandey recently got divorced from his wife Trisha Dubash. The couple tied the knot in 2004 and started living separately by 2014. There were lots of speculations about his married life but now the actor has decided to put all those to rest. Talking about it he said, “With time, we realised that we lacked compatibility as a couple. We started living separately, as we didn’t want things to get ugly. I was quiet for all these years because I have always respected my privacy. I can talk about it now, as the divorce is through. Fortunately, there is no bad blood between Trisha and me. We handled our separation maturely. I am grateful to her and especially my in-laws, who have been supportive despite our decision to go our separate ways.” 

Hrishikesh has custody of his son Dakshay and further added, “One of the main reasons for keeping quiet about my personal life was my son. I didn’t want him to read stories about my separation at such a young age. He is 12 now and mature enough to understand what we went through. Though it was challenging to balance everything and pretending to be a married man, I somehow sailed through.”
