In her statement, the actor had said that she's 'really sad and heartbroken'. Rakhi had introduced Ritesh as her husband on Bigg Boss 15.

In an interview with Times of India, Rakhi said crying, "He left me! I loved him so much and he left me. After Bigg Boss a few weeks ago, we started living together in my house in Mumbai, but yesterday he packed his bags and left. He said that he is in legal trouble because he didn’t divorce her first wife and now he doesn’t want to live with me anymore. He said that he lost a of money also in his business as he had to go through a lot of scrutiny after he entered the Bigg Boss house with me. 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."

Rakhi also said that her marriage with Ritesh, which took place in July 2019, is 'not legal' as he didn’t divorce his first wife. Speaking about her family, she said that her mother and brother came to her place after getting to know about the news. She informed that they are 'very sad' and told her she should have found out 'more about Ritesh before getting involved with him'.

In her statement, Rakhi had said, "Dear Fans and well-wishers, just wanted to say that Ritesh and I have decided to part ways. After the Big Boss show a lot has happened and I was unaware of certain things which were out of my control. We have tried to work out our differences and tried to make things work but I think it's best we both move on amicably and we both enjoy our lives separately."

She further wrote, "I'm really sad and heartbroken that this had to happen before Valentine's Day but the decision had to be made. I wish Ritesh the best in life but for me, at this stage in life, I have to focus on my work and my life and keep myself happy and healthy. Thank you for understanding and supporting me always! - Rakhi Sawant."
