Why Nandish-Rashami revealed their marital problems on a reality show
Celeb couple Nandish Sandhu and Rashami Desai, who had been facing issues in their marriage some time back, were keeping away from the public glare and not talking about their personal lives, before they signed up for 'Nach Baliye', a dance reality show. It was shocking when the couple started revealing their marital problems and Rashami asked Nandish to apologise for his mistakes on the show.
Ask Rashami about this and she says, "Both of us had tried everything in the book to save our marriage, but nothing was helping it. But after we accepted this show, I realised that the communication gap between us became lesser. When I got married to Nandish, I left everything to be his wife. My home, my family, my work " I stopped working for two years. It was a new life and so many adjustments. But even after making adjustments, we were not able to solve our problems. No balance was achieved. Finally we said yes to the show and the love challenges brought us closer. So we spoke about our problems on the show and that has actually helped us."
Nandish, who agrees with Rashami, says, "Earlier there were outside factors who could create problems. And there was no way I could reach out to her and tell her that this was right or wrong. I think apologising to her in public in an open forum is better than a private place because there, the chances of resolving are less. When it is two individuals arguing with each other, the ego comes in between, but on a public platform, we could easily sort out our differences. The show has worked like a counsellor for us."
The two also feel happy that they have given their marriage a second chance. Nandish says, "What is the guarantee that you will be happy with the next person you marry? You often say 'get lost' to your partner and move on to the next person thinking all will be well, but instead of wasting your time on another person, why not work on your present partner or marriage and make it better ??"
