MUMBAI: Ssmilly Suri started her career with her brother and popular filmmaker Mohit Suri’s film Kalyug. In the film, she was seen opposite Kunal Khemmu. The actress, who has been away from the screen for quite some time, is making headlines for her recent interview over her divorce with choreographer Vineet Bangera and the toughest phase of her life.

The couple tied the knot in 2014 and got separated in 2016 and finally got divorced three months back, on 26th June. In an exclusive interview with Bombay Times, the actress opened up on her troubled marriage, the tough phase of her life and how she is in a happy place now and wants to start afresh on both personal and professional front.

Now, in an interview with India Forums, Vineet Bangera narrated his side of the story. He said, “When a couple goes through divorce, both of them suffer equally, not just Ssmilly, but I too have suffered a lot. It was difficult for both of us and more so for me as I had to move in with my parents after our separation and had to give up my house. It was tough for me because I was struggling to build my career and also went through mental trauma because of the separation. For now, yes we both are in a happy place.”

Speaking about the reason behind their failed marriage, he said, “We got separated in 2016 because it was impossible to stay together under one roof. I left because I had no other choice as there were too many things about her that were hidden from me, certain things about her personality and her behavior which I did not know beforehand. It was a matter of concern and security that I had to leave the house at one point on the advice of her family members.”

He added, “As a matter of fact she always had those issues and they were actually one of the many reasons why it was difficult for us to reconcile our love. She battled her issues and I battled my own issues. Our law happens to support women a lot than it supports the men. Even if the men are not wrong, the law always favors the women. So it was difficult for me to even step out of my house and meet people during that time.”
