In a new interview now, the Bigg Boss fame actress has opened up about the troubles in her marriage. She also revealed that they were planning to have a baby this year and that Rakhi pleaded Ritesh not to leave her.

Rakhi and Ritesh, who participated in Bigg Boss 15 together, announced separation on February 14. Rakhi Sawant told The Times Of India that Ritesh stopped taking her calls. She added that while he hardly stayed with her since their marriage, she tried her best to stay with him. Rakhi was also not aware of Ritesh's marital status earlier. "After coming out of the Bigg Boss house, when I got to know that he has a wife and a kid, my heart broke. I cannot be unfair to a woman and a child. I am coming to terms with the fact that he has left me and everything has ended," she said.

Rakhi admitted that her marriage with Ritesh which took place on July 28, 2019 is illegal. "My marriage with him is not legal because he didn’t divorce his first wife," she added.

Rakhi also said, "We had decided to have a child in 2022. Lekin abhi kaise?" When asked if she felt he would leave her after Bigg Boss 15, Rakhi said, "I felt he was staying in my house only to be at the Grand Finale. 'Bigg Boss' ke contract mein hain that 'you have to pay Rs 2 crore if you don't attend the Grand Finale'. Besides, he was not touching me or kissing me in front of the media. Only I was kissing him. He is a shy person, lekin un baton se zarror jyaada lagne laga tha."

Rakhi also said that she pleaded at Ritesh's feet to not leave her. She added that if Ritesh returns to her post his divorce, he needs to buy a house and a car of his own.

The actress shared that celebs like Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Mahima Chaudhary, Kashmera Shah and Pratik Sehajpal have lent their support to her during this difficult time.
