In 2017, TV actors Akangsha Rawat and Piyush Sahdev decided to call it quits after being married for five years. The same year, the couple had filed for divorce. But guess what; three years down the lane, they are still not divorced and are legally married to each other.
Revealing the reason behind such long divorce proceedings, Akangsha was quoted saying, "My divorce proceedings are not over yet and I don't see it getting done anytime soon. There are many complications and it is going to take long. Piyush wants a divorce but he is not agreeing to a lot of things, which I feel is unfair. He is being unreasonable."
The actress also opened up on how during her mother’s cancer treatment, a lot of people suggested that she should just agree to Piyush’s terms and conditions and finish the matter. However, she did not listen to them.
She said, “When my mother was suffering from cancer, everyone suggested me that there is no room for more stress in my life, so just let it all go and end the case. But just because I was going through a traumatic phase, I can’t let somebody take advantage of that. If he has been unfair to me at so many levels, I will fight him. Otherwise, what kind of example am I setting? On-screen, we portray roles of strong women, and in our real lives, we surrender to the situation and back out, just because we want peace of mind. No, I couldn’t have done that- it was a difficult situation to handle, but I chose to fight for the right.”
Akangsha’s mother passed away in May 2018 which is the same time when she was fighting her divorce court case.
In 2017, Piyush was accused of raping a 23-year-old fashion designer. He was arrested and spent 24 days in judicial custody. He is out on bail now. Reportedly, Piyush used to harass Akangsha mentally and physically and that was the biggest reason behind their divorce.
On the work front, Akangsha is currently doing mythological show RadhaKrishn; whereas Piyush was last seen in Dastaan-E-Mohabbat: Salim Anarkali.
