Mumbai: Jackky Bhagnani has shared an honest take on his relationship with wife Rakul Preet Singh, saying that despite being married, he likes to call their bond a “situationship.”
The couple recently appeared on a YouTube show ‘Zingabad’, where they spoke about why they chose to marry each other and how their relationship has grown over time.
“We told each other that we are not 20-21 years old anymore. We have both seen many ups and downs. Individually, I am a happy person. I am not looking for anyone to fill that void because if I am a depressed person, no matter who comes into my life, I will be depressed. And individually, you are happy too. Together, we are happier,” Jackky shared.
Rakul added that they are ‘filling a
void’ in each other’s lives.
“It’s not like you didn’t take me for a holiday, so I am unhappy. I can go on that holiday by myself. I think there are more important things in life to talk about”.
Jackky continued, “Rakul and I are married, but we are like in a situationship, which is, of course, we are exclusive to each other because that’s why we are married. But the most important thing is that I can talk to her about anything.”
Jackky shared that if an ex-girlfriend calls him when Rakul is around, he answers on speakerphone, stressing that he keeps nothing hidden from his wife.
He added that being open helps him feel free and not “suffocated.”
Rakul and Jackky dated for three years before getting married on February 21, 2024, in Goa.
Their destination wedding included two ceremonies, an Anand Karaj in the afternoon and a Sindhi ceremony in the evening.
The couple shared their wedding photos on Instagram, where Rakul was seen wearing a pink-peach lehenga paired with statement diamond jewellery.
“Mine now and forever (red heart emoticon) 21-02-2024 #abdonobhagna-ni,” the couple captioned the post.
