Speaking with Times Now about the lessons he learnt from the relationship, Samir Soni said, “Don't jump into anything too soon and don’t jump out of it too soon. Because you got to give it time and we did not. Once you kind of fall in love, you think everything should be hunky-dory but living together is tough and you don’t know what things will be like. We knew each other only for three months really.” 

The actor also revealed that his divorce was finalised on the same night as his debut movie had premiered. Unfortunately, on the same night, he learned that most of his portions shot for the film had not made the cut. 

“That’s a night I can never forget in my life. It was a double whammy for me. In my personal life, I felt like I had failed because I was not keen on the divorce. I thought we could have given it more time because we were just married for six months, so you kind of interpret that as a failure on your part,” he said.
