Actress Shamita Shetty has finally spoken about her breakup with actor Raqesh Bapat, making it clear that she has moved on and is now focused on her independence, peace, and self-growth.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Shamita described her past relationship as a “chapter erased” from her life. She explained that while bonds formed inside the Bigg Boss OTT house were natural due to vulnerability, such a relationship might not have happened outside the show.

Choosing Independence Over Compromise

Shamita emphasized that she is embracing life as an independent woman, learning what works for her and unwilling to compromise on her happiness. “Many enter relationships out of loneliness, but I’m not willing to sacrifice my peace for someone else’s loneliness,” she said, adding that she will only consider a relationship where her soul is truly respected.

From Reality Show Love to Breakup

Shamita and Raqesh met during Bigg Boss OTT (2021) and continued dating after the show. However, they broke up a year later. In January 2022, Shamita confirmed their split, thanking fans for their support and urging them to respect their individual journeys.

Now, she says her focus is firmly on self-growth, peace of mind, and happiness on her own terms.
