Ridhi Dogra on love after divorce from Raqesh Bapat: ‘I'm a big romantic... but I'll never let go of my self-respect again'
Ridhi Dogra and Raqesh Bapat were once one of the most loved couples on Indian television. The two met on the sets of Maryada, fell in love, and tied the knot on May 29, 2011. Their quiet yet strong bond surprised many fans, but after eight years of marriage, the couple parted ways in 2019. While the separation was amicable, Ridhi admitted it took time for her to adjust to the sudden solitude that followed. 'I used to enjoy people coming over... then I was alone' Ridhi, in a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, opened up about the emotional transformation she underwent after the divorce. From being a married woman who enjoyed a lively home, to living alone and slowly building a healthy relationship with herself, she shared how that chapter shaped her into the person she is today. 'For me, he was home,' she said, admitting that she missed companionship for a long time. But over time, she learned to embrace her solitude and now enjoys her own company. Despite the heartbreak, Ridhi remains open to the idea of love. In fact, she calls herself a romantic at heart. 'Why will I not be open to falling in love? I mean, I am always open to love. I am a big romantic and it takes very little time for me to fall in love. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Family Adopted A New 'Dog', But When The Vet Sees It He Calls The Police Undo I am very picky,' she smiled. 'I let go of my self-worth for love, and no one should do that' When asked about the craziest thing she's ever done in love, Ridhi didn't sugarcoat her answer. She admitted that she once put herself down in the name of love, something she strongly advises others never to do. 'Apne baare mai, apni self respect k baare mai fikr na kar k, maine beintah pyaar kiya. So I think that's the craziest thing I did for love. Jo kisi ko v nahi karna chahiye. Because it's a downslide.' She added that many people often mistake this behaviour for love, but clarified, 'Yeh pyaar nahi hai.' 'Holi is one of my favourite festivals', says Ridhi Dogra 'Don't walk down that road' Ridhi explained that when someone compromises their self-worth for love, they eventually lose sight of their own identity. She urged people not to walk that path. 'Please apne self-worth, self-respect ki dhajjiyan mat udayi. Because in return you will be left with the feeling of 'Main kaun hu?'' Since her split from Raqesh, Ridhi has kept her personal life away from the public eye and hasn't been linked to anyone romantically. Raqesh, on the other hand, dated Bigg Boss OTT co-contestant Shamita Shetty, but they reportedly parted ways in 2022. Professionally, Ridhi has only soared higher. She made her Bollywood presence felt in big-ticket films like Tiger 3 alongside Salman Khan and Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan, proving she's carved out a space for herself beyond television.

But in a recent interview, the legendary playback singer revealed that many of her bold tracks didn't just raise eyebrows, they were outright banned on Indian radio. 'Why do I only get the bold songs?' Asha once asked RD Burman Speaking to Republic Bharat, Asha Bhosle recalled confronting her late husband and composer RD Burman, fondly known as Pancham Da, about his song choices. She questioned why she was repeatedly given provocative numbers, while her elder sister Lata Mangeshkar received the softer, more 'respectable' melodies. 'I once told Pancham, why do I only get these bold songs while the nice songs go to Lata Didi?' she said. But RD Burman stood firm. He had faith in Asha's ability to make such songs iconic. Regarding Piya Tu Ab To Aaja, from the 1971 film Caravan, she remembered him confidently telling her that the song would be a huge hit. 'I have written a bad song,' said Majrooh Sultanpuri and walked out Interestingly, Asha also shared an anecdote involving renowned lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri, who penned Piya Tu Ab To Aaja.

Another of Asha's landmark tracks, Dum Maaro Dum from Dev Anand's Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971), also stirred controversy. Despite the film's anti-drug message, the song was accused of glamorising smoking and hippie culture. As a result, All India Radio banned it, and Doordarshan edited the song out when the film was aired on television. Over the decades, however, these songs have come to define the bold, experimental era of Hindi film music, with Asha Bhosle at the forefront, unafraid to lend her voice to songs that pushed boundaries.
