TV actor Vijayendra Kumeria, known for "Naagin 4" and "Shastri Sisters," has publicly confirmed that he and his wife, Preeti Bhatia, are divorced. Speaking to TeleTalk India, he said the divorce was finalised in 2025 and that the two had been living separately since 2022.

Why He Stayed Quiet

Vijayendra described himself as a private person and said it took him time to understand and accept the changes in his personal life, which is why he did not speak about it earlier. As time passed, he felt it was better to speak openly so that people would not draw their own conclusions.

"Such Decisions Aren't Made Overnight"

The couple married in January 2012. Explaining what went wrong, the actor said the decision did not come suddenly. According to him, they had significant differences and compatibility issues that grew over time. He said they did try to resolve them, but things did not work out, and they separated in 2022. He called it a mutual decision, and said they received a divorce decree in 2025.

Focus on Their Daughter

The couple's daughter, Kimaya, was born in October 2016. Vijayendra said he believes it is better for her to feel the love of both parents separately than to grow up in a home where neither parent is happy. Like every parent, he said, they want the best for her, and that is what they are doing.

Current Work

Vijayendra has appeared in shows including "Shastri Sisters," "Udann," "Naagin 4" and "Teri Meri Doriyan." He currently plays Inspector Sanyam Singh in the Colors TV show "Juhi Mui," co-starring Eisha Singh.

Why It Matters

Many celebrities keep separations private for years, so a public, measured explanation like this helps replace speculation with the person's own account. His emphasis on co-parenting and a mutual decision also sets a calm tone for a matter that often turns into online gossip. At this stage, only Vijayendra's account is available, and Preeti Bhatia has not commented in the source.
