Akangsha Rawat Still Not Divorced; Actress Says, "Piyush Sahdev Is Being Very Unfair And Unreasonable”

Akangsha Rawat returned to small screen almost after a decade with her new show, RadhaKrishn, in August 2018. Her life prior to that has been full of troubled times. In 2017, she separated from her husband and actor Piyush Sahdev. She filed multiple cases against him, which also included domestic violence and fraud. Later in the same year, Piyush spent 24 days in jail, after being accused of rape by a 23-year-old model.

What’s the current status between the former couple? Well, their divorce has still not gone through. It’s been almost 2 years but Piyush and Akangsha still stand legally married. We got in touch with the actress to know the reason for the delay and she revealed that Piyush is making it difficult for her.  

“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 divorce but he is not agreeing to a lot of things, which I feel is unfair. He is being unreasonable,” said Akangsha.

Although the divorce proceedings have been taking a toll on the RadhaKrishn actress, yet she is being strong and not letting go of things. Akangsha elaborates on how during her mother’s Cancer treatment, many suggested that she should just agree to Piyush’s terms and conditions and finish the matter. 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 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 court cases. She recalled the lowest phase of her life and said, “I get so emotional when I recollect that time. On one side I was running around hospitals for my mother’s treatment for which I had shifted my base to Delhi and on the other side, I was making trips to Mumbai for my court case, visiting police stations- it was extremely toxic and disturbing but I faced it.”

Ask her if Piyush ever called her during this time or offered help and she responds, “No, Piyush never called me. What’s even sad is that he never called me even after my mom passed away. In fact, my mom wanted to meet him for the last time but he never came. There was a time when Piyush was bedridden for two-and-a-half years but at that time I and my family really stood by him. He was shooting for Shapat and injured his knee because of which he had to undergo an operation. He developed multiple slip discs and gained 108 Kg. It was a dark period for Piyush but we all were there for him. So, it was really heart-breaking to see what he did when my mother was suffering from Cancer. That moment I realised, humanity doesn't exist, forgot about relationships.”
