Actress Isha Koppikar Opens Up About Divorce with Estranged Husband Timmy Narang: After 14 years of marriage, Bollywood actress Isha Koppikar and her husband, Timmy Narang, decided to part ways in 2023. Now, Isha has spoken publicly about the split, reflecting on her journey of healing and moving forward.
A Difficult Decision: What Led to the Divorce?
In a recent interview with Bombay Times, Isha revealed some insights into her divorce. She mentioned that, while she couldn’t pinpoint a specific reason, they gradually “drifted apart.” According to her, it was Timmy who initiated the split, expressing that things were no longer working out between them.
Isha’s Statement:
“I really cannot pinpoint what went wrong… we just kind of drifted apart. It was his decision, he said, ‘This is not working out.’ And I said, ‘Okay, fine.’ Then, we just parted ways. Only mature people can take decisions like these.”
Choosing the Path of Amicable Separation
Though it was challenging for her, Isha shared that she ultimately respected Timmy’s decision and agreed to the separation, even though she could have contested it. She noted that holding onto the marriage would have gone against her values.
Isha’s Perspective on the Separation:
“It was easy for me not to give him a divorce, but that would go against my values. We separated amicably. It was very tough for me. I wanted some answers, which I got from the universe.”
Isha emphasized her spirituality, stating that, sometimes, staying in a stagnant relationship can lead to constant conflicts.
Addressing Timmy’s “Irresponsible” Actions
Isha also spoke about the challenges of managing the divorce with their daughter, Rianna, in mind. She expressed disappointment over how Timmy handled the situation, mentioning that she wanted Rianna to gradually understand the situation. Timmy, however, addressed the divorce prematurely, an act he later acknowledged as a mistake and apologized for.
Isha’s Take on Timmy’s Approach:
“It was irresponsible of him because I wanted Rianna to accept it slowly. I wanted to bring it up with her in a different way, but before that, he spoke about it. He later agreed that it was a blunder and apologised for it.”
Embracing New Beginnings and Focusing on Career
With the chapter closed, Isha is now focusing on her career and returning to the entertainment industry. She expressed excitement about pursuing new opportunities and has been actively meeting with directors.
Isha on Moving Forward:
“Right now, I am only thinking about work. I am back in the game. I have been out there meeting people. For a long time, people didn’t even know that I wanted to work… I’m actually going to offices and meeting directors, and I’m getting a fabulous response. I am focused and I will work hard.”
Isha’s Recent and Upcoming Projects
On the work front, Isha was recently seen in the Tamil science fiction film Ayalaan. With her renewed commitment to her career, fans can look forward to seeing more of her in upcoming projects.
