Shamita Shetty on break up with Raqesh Bapat: We’d much rather be happy individually than mess things up

Shamita Shetty and Raqesh Bapat’s break up came as one of the most shocking news for Bigg Boss fans in 2022. The two were a part of Karan Johar’s Bigg Boss OTT, where they bonded instantly. Now, Shamita says that she and Raqesh would rather be happy individually than mess things up.

Without spilling too much about the reason for their break up, Shamita and Raqesh agreed that being friends is the best move for them. “I think both of us mutually decided whatever we did and we’d much rather be friends and be happy individually than mess things up,” Shamita told Pinkvilla.

She called them ‘matured people’ and ‘not like teenagers’ who don’t understand each other. Meanwhile, Raqesh assured that they were in a good space. Being practical, he said that some things work out and some things don’t work out and there’s nobody to blame since it is life.

Shamita announced her breakup with Raqesh on social media (Instagram) in July. She asked ShaRa fans to shower love on them as individuals.

Back then, Shamita and Raqesh were going to appear in a music video. The single has now released and is titled Tere Vich Rab Disda (I can see God in you).

Cracks could be seen in ShaRa relationship when she joined Bigg Boss 15. Shamita got upset when Raqesh left the show without meeting her. For the uninitiated, he had a medical emergency and could not stay back.

Soon, Raqesh’s friend Nishant Bhat also pointed out how Shamita and Raqesh are different people. When Shamita spoke about a wedding, Nishant expressed his concern, since he felt they weren’t the perfect couple on the block.

Shamita and Raqesh made public appearances and fans expected things to be okay between them since he met Shamita’s mother and had her approval too. However, according to Shamita, the meetings were only because of the music video and nothing else.
