Amit Tandon on his infidelity

Appearing on Siddharth Kannan's podcast, Amit opened up about his career and personal life. While addressing the ups and downs of the relationship, the actor got candid about the lows in his marriage. When the host asked him if he ever cheated, Amit said, "Yes, I did. Now what do I say. Yes, I have had moments where...I am thinking of how to put it respectfully but this has no respect. I let my impulses get the better of me. In that moment, I let parts of my past carry forward. Obviously, kuch waqt to usko kuch pata bhi nahin tha (for some time she had no idea). But eventually, when she got to know, it destroyed her."

The actor said that his infidelity did dent their marriage. "It creates a crack in your relationship, and sometimes it can't be repaired. It just keeps on growing. Fast forwarding, we had a child thinking that bacha hone se sab theek ho jayega (a kid can fix everything). It doesn't," he added.

Amit married Ruby, a dermatologist, in 2007. The two have a daughter, Jinaya. Amit and Ruby separated in 2017 but eventually reconciled in 2019. In the same interview, Amit addressed this reconciliation and said it was needed for their marriage.
