Actor Barkha Bisht recently opened up about her past relationship with actor Karan Singh Grover, shedding light on what led to their breakup. In a candid interview with Siddharth Kannan, she shared insights into their romance, how it started, and how their evolving perspectives on life eventually drove them apart.
A Love Story That Began on Set
Barkha Bisht and Karan Singh Grover first crossed paths on the sets of the 2004 teen drama Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi. Their on-screen chemistry soon translated into real-life romance, and they started dating. The couple was together for nearly two years, during which Barkha found herself deeply drawn to Karan’s personality.
During the interview, Barkha recalled what initially attracted her to Karan. “We dated for two years. Karan was a very kind person, which attracted me to him. He has an inherent kindness, which I got attracted to because people in Mumbai are not always kind. So, whenever I find kindness, I get attracted to it. He is very good-looking—the six-pack abs, I mean, I was just 23 years old!” she said, reminiscing about their early days.
The Growing Differences
However, as time passed, their relationship began to change. Barkha admitted that while they started off well, they eventually realized they had different outlooks on life. “Nothing went wrong; our perspectives and views on life were different. He was also two years younger than me. As we grew older over those two years, that difference became more apparent—that was the problem,” she explained.
Despite their breakup, Barkha harbors no ill feelings towards Karan. She made it clear that she still thinks fondly of him and only wishes him the best. “I am still very fond of him even today, and I wish him the best wherever he is,” she added.
Life After the Breakup
Both Barkha and Karan have moved on in their personal lives. Karan Singh Grover eventually married actress Bipasha Basu. The couple tied the knot in 2016 after working together in the horror film Alone (2015). Their relationship has been going strong ever since, and in 2022, they welcomed their daughter, Devi.
On the other hand, Barkha Bisht found love with actor Indraneil Sengupta. Their love story began on the sets of Pyaar Ke Do Naam, and after dating for a brief period, they got married in March 2008. The couple was together for 14 years and shared a daughter, Meira, who is now 13 years old. However, their marriage ended in separation in 2022.
Barkha’s Revelation About Her Marriage
Recently, Barkha made headlines when she revealed that her ex-husband, Indraneil Sengupta, had cheated on her during their marriage. While she did not delve into the specifics, she hinted that infidelity played a significant role in their eventual split. The revelation shocked many of her fans, as Barkha and Indraneil were considered one of the most stable couples in the television industry.
Reflections on Love and Heartbreak
Barkha’s journey through love and heartbreak has been filled with valuable lessons. From experiencing her first major heartbreak with Karan Singh Grover to facing betrayal in her marriage, she has navigated through it all with grace and resilience. Today, she continues to focus on her career and raising her daughter, embracing the new phase of her life with strength.
Her openness about her past relationships serves as a reminder that love is complex, and not all relationships are meant to last forever. Sometimes, people grow apart, and differences become too vast to bridge. Nevertheless, Barkha’s positive outlook and lack of resentment towards her past relationships highlight her maturity and emotional strength.
Conclusion
Barkha Bisht’s revelation about her past relationships, particularly her breakup with Karan Singh Grover, offers an insight into the reality of love, growth, and change. While their love story was once filled with passion and admiration, it eventually faded due to their diverging perspectives on life.

Both Karan and Barkha have moved forward in their lives, each finding their own path.
