During a conversation on The Real Story With Sanghmitra Hitaishi on YouTube, Indraneil reflected on the public scrutiny surrounding his personal life. “Something went wrong in my life, which was really wrong in the public eye. It was right there in front of everyone to see,” he admitted. However, he also pointed out that despite the negativity surrounding the situation, the impact it had on him was ultimately positive. “It affected my life completely in a positive way. Although the incident is very negative, but the impact it brought was positive in terms of my personality development,” he shared. 

Indraneil doesn't believe it was a failed marriage

Discussing the end of his marriage, the actor explained that relationships don’t always have to last forever to be meaningful. “Even my marriage, if someone says it hasn’t worked out, I would say it has, it did for 13 years. It just didn’t go forever. Why is the idea of a relationship forever? It’s great if it’s forever, but it might not be. Have there been good years, good moments, and bad moments? Yes. Two people together have their journeys and their individual journeys as well.” 

"No one's to be blamed"

Indraneil also dismissed the idea of blame, stating, “No one is wrong. Even the personality changes. Both of us were very different people, we knew that from day one. But, as the years passed, we became more of ourselves.” Reiterating his stance, he added, “It wasn’t unsuccessful at all. Nothing has failed, I don’t agree with the word failure.” 

The actor also spoke about the unsolicited advice he received during his separation. “I have been told that ‘protect the family. Do whatever you wish to do, all men do, but save your marriage.’ Is this an advice?” he questioned.

Meanwhile, his ex-wife Barkha Bisht, in a separate interview with Siddharth Kannan, revealed that their marriage ended due to Indraneil’s infidelity. “It’s a choice to move out of a marriage and it was Indraneil’s choice to move out of the marriage. He chose to move out of the marriage for reasons best known to him. If it were in my hands, I would still be married. We had a good marriage,” she said.
