Nikhil Patel CONFIRMS separation with Dalljiet Kaur; REACTS to extra-marital affair allegations: “She has expressed a desire to return to my life and has crossed boundaries.”
Lately, Dalljiet Kaur made cryptic posts on social media that hinted at infidelity. This fueled more speculation about Nikhil’s extramarital affair. Nonetheless, he clarified that their parting was based on deeper problems due to blended family issues as well as cultural differences.
“Since January this year, Dalljiet decided to take her son Jaydon from Kenya back to India which led eventually us apart. We separated in January this year,” explained Patel. “However we both realized that our blended family’s foundation did not prove strong enough for Dalljiet’s adaptation into Kenya.”
Patel said that the couple faced significant cultural clashes as well as different values. Although they tried integrating through an Indian wedding ceremony in Mumbai in March 2023 – this was a very important cultural rite – these discrepancies proved insurmountable.
“The ceremony was meant to assure Dalljiet’s parents of her move to Kenya. Nonetheless, it proved difficult for us since she missed her career and life in India” shared Mr Patel. He also talked about his daughters’ mother who could never be replaced thereby highlighting how complex their newfound family arrangement is.
Dalljiet informed Nikhil and others that she would not come back unless it were for picking up her remaining items which are safely stored by him.’ “For me, it was end of our relationship when she left country except for posting things on social media that were not related to her feelings for me or desire to ever be with me again. Since then I have had closure and moved ahead,” he explained.
Patel spoke about a recent social media activity of his former partner Dalljiet which according to him created confusion thereby causing unnecessary harassment of his family and friends. “She has expressed a desire to return to my life and has crossed boundaries. Due to misinterpretation of her posts there has been unwarranted harassment,” he stated.
“I have always believed in addressing misunderstandings with clarity and respect. Not just for myself but also for everyone involved. It is essential to set records straight. I genuinely wish the best for Dalljiet moving forward positively,” Patel concluded.
Before she got into a relationship with Nikhil Patel, Dalljiet Kaur was married to actor Shalin Bhanot. They separated in 2016 and now co-parent their son Jaydon. Similarly, Nikhil Patel was married before and has two daughters from his previous marriage.
