On July 26, Shamita confirmed their breakup on social media through her Instagram Stories, “I think it's important to make this clear. Raqesh Bapat and I are no longer together and have not been for a while, but this music video is for all the beautiful fans who have given us so much love n support. Do continue to shower us with your love as individuals too. Here’s to positivity and newer horizons. A Love and gratitude to you all."
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, the couple talked about how they decided to make their breakup public. Shamita said, “We announced it on social media because we wanted people to know because they were sending us pro love messages. We wanted to focus on ourselves more than 'ShaRa'.”
Raqesh said, “We met in very unusual circumstances. None of us planned it. I wanted to play individually (in Bigg Boss). They (Bigg Boss) were calling me for years. I was and I am really scared of going to that house. It (their relationship) was unplanned. So now we tried and then it didn't work. So we had to tell people. Also, I thought let's not do it (breakup announcement) because I am a private person and I don't want to be vocal about it. If we would have been in the Bigg Boss house then people would've seen that why things didn't work out but we are not in the Bigg Boss house and life is not just the Bigg Boss house.”
