Bollywood Actress and Classical Dancer Neelam Kothari Opens Up About Her Separation from Ex-Husband Pankaj Kapur
In a recent interview with Vicky Lalwani, 67-year-old Neelam Kothari revealed that the vast distance between her and her ex-husband Pankaj Kapur was the primary reason for their separation. The couple had tied the knot in 1979, but their marriage ended in divorce in 1984, when their son Shahid Kapur was just three years old. In a candid conversation, Neelam expressed that she had no regrets about the separation, citing her children Shahid and Eshaan as her biggest blessings.
“I just feel that it was destined to happen,” Neelam said in the interview. “No one gets married with the intention of getting divorced. People get married to be together. Maybe we were just too different as individuals.” Neelam emphasized that a successful marriage is not just about what one partner does or doesn’t do; it’s about the emotional connection between two people. In their case, the distance between them, with Neelam residing in Delhi and Pankaj in Mumbai, was a significant factor.
Neelam also revealed that she had encouraged Pankaj to move to Mumbai without her, citing the financial burden of relocating the entire family. However, the distance between them eventually led to their separation. After her divorce, Neelam went on to marry Rajesh Khanna and Rajeev Ali, but both marriages were short-lived.
