Dalljiet Kaur’s divorce battle with Nikhil Patel has been making headlines for a long time now. Ever since the two parted ways, they have levelled several allegations against each other. On Tuesday, Nikhil issued a long statement and made some shocking revelations and allegations.
In his statement, Nikhil claimed that he was never legally married to Dalljiet and revealed that his divorce from his previous wife was also not settled when he married the Indian television actress. He claimed that Dalljiet was aware of the situation but decided to leave Kenya in January this year with her son Jaydon, without any information.
“Dalljiet was very insistent on moving to Kenya and starting a new life there with my daughter and I. She understood the fact that I was still not legally divorced from my first marriage. In fact, my legal counsel at the time, sent Dalljiet’s parents a letter clearly stating this fact, to which they gave their blessing to the ceremony. This is why the Hindu ceremony was held in a banquet hall rather than a Gurdwara or a Mandir, and was purely a non-legally binding celebration for our respective family and friends, and for the sole purpose of Dalljiet being able to move to Kenya. My final divorce did not arrive until January of this year, by which time Dalljiet had already left Kenya for good (sic),” he wrote.
“This is something that Dalljiet is deliberately omitting in her chosen narrative; she was in no way misled about my status as a still married man, and the fact that our celebration in India was not in any way meant to be, nor was it a “legal” marriage ceremony. For Dalljiet to pretend that we entered a legal union is deliberately deceptive and meant solely for purposes of supporting her victim self-portrayal. However, all the legal evidence, which is readily available, shows that this was purely a celebration of two cultures and religions coming together. I will admit that at the time, we both wanted to later legalise our relationship, once my divorce came through (sic),” Nikhil added.
Nikhil Patel further claimed that even though he tried to sort out their differences, Dalljiet was clear about getting divorced. He also accused the actress of ‘verbally abusing’ him and claimed that ‘hypocritical’ that she has been calling him a cheater.
“As I do take responsibility for my own actions in this scenario, it is important that Dalljiet recognise that labelling me a “cheater” and claiming that I had “extra marital affairs” is hypocritical given her level of comfort in moving to Kenya to live with me knowing full well that I was still legally married. In the past eight months since Dalljiet and Jaydon left Kenya, I have found myself subjected to intense scrutiny on social media. Dalljiet decided to withdraw Jaydon from his prestigious British international school in Nairobi after just four days of the new term. She then informed my oldest daughter through a voice note and messaged my friends, stating her intention to leave Kenya permanently and return to India. For several weeks after Dalljiet left Kenya, I continued to keep in touch with her and we communicated on a daily basis, where I was verbally abused several times on video and phone calls in the middle of the night. I truly tried my best to ask her to work on our relationship and kept matters private. I asked her to return to Kenya so we could be a family again and work through our differences,” he continued.
Nikhil also claimed that Dalljiet never met his younger daughter which caused her great distress. He even accused the actress of ‘fabricating’ their story and blamed her for ruining his life.
Dalljiet Kaur and Nikhil Patel tied the knot in March 2023. However, the two filed for divorce earlier this year i.e. after 10 months of their wedding. Recently, the actress also filed an FIR against Nikhil Patel at Mumbai’s Agripada police station. The FIR was filed under sections 85 and 316 (2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. This means that Dilljiet accused Nikhil of cruelty and criminal breach of trust.
