She spoke about trying to save her marriage for two years after the confrontation. Barkha said she was firm on being a woman who would leave the moment a man cheated, but, "It is easier said than done. I have no shame in saying that I would have forgiven Indraneil."

Indraneil, however, refused to call the marriage a failure, saying, “We were different from day one.” He also mentioned that the divorce changed him in a positive way.

Indraneil questioned traditional ideas of commitment, asking why relationships must last forever. "It worked for 13 years. It didn't go on forever. Why is the idea of a relationship 'forever'? It is good if it is forever. There have been good moments, very good moments, and also bad moments," he said.

Barkha, in contrast, opened up about the emotional toll that the divorce had on her, describing the heartbreak as physical pain. She mentioned that the divorce broke her trust in humanity, not in love.

Barkha revealed that Indraneil chose to move out of the marriage while she tried to save it. "Cheating and infidelity is a choice," said Barkha, "Indraneil made a choice - maybe he can justify it now. He can give you a hundred reasons why this marriage broke, but his actions are not on me. He has to justify them."

Barkha also addressed rumours of dating Bigg Boss contestant Karan Veer Singh in the past. She called him a friend and stated she didn't hide her relationships, but that her daughter came first.
