Actor Inder Kumar passed away at the young age of 45 due to a cardiac arrest. The actor was going through a low phase in his career and was in the news more due to personal reasons than professional. Spotboye.com got in touch with his former wife Sonal Kariya to talk about him, their marriage and his problems.
Here are some excerpts from the interview –
On the main reason behind their divorce –
He couldn’t forget Isha Koppikar. I think it was a case of ‘first love cannot be forgotten’. At times, he used to tell me that he is going to meet her. I even told him to get her home sometimes, but he did not.
I think he was in touch with her even after we divorced each other. He wouldn’t show it too much and he didn’t tell me either- but I could sense that he couldn’t shake off Isha from his mind. Main shaadi ke time bhi suna tha that he hasn’t forgotten Isha but I ignored that hearsay. Add this to his habits- drugs and alcohol. It became very tough on me.
On domestic violence –
Haan, (on whether he raised his hand on her) woh sab to chalta rahta tha. And then you know, there came a point where I couldn’t take it any longer.
And on keeping in touch with his present wife Pallavi –
Well, we are friends on Facebook if that’s what you call ‘in touch’. Whenever I post Khushi’s pictures, she always ‘likes’ them. She seems to be a nice lady. At the end of it all, I would still say that Inder too was nice. I guess, we were just not destined to remain together. Jo ho gaya so ho gaya. I am definitely sad that Inder is no more. May his soul rest in peace.
