It’s love
He admits as much but adds, “Give it time. I will talk about it when the time is right, nahi toh nazar lagta hai. I’ve never hidden anything in my life. However, I will say that there’s something very strong and good happening here, this relationship is here to stay. I have found love again. After my divorce, I never thought I would. It’s never easy getting over a broken relationship. You don’t go searching for love… But it happened. When I met Sadhana, I thought it was perfect.”

Love at first sight?
“I am not new at this, so I can’t really say. Apart from the fact that she’s a stunning woman, the reason why I love Sadhana is also because the kind of human being she is. At this stage in my life, I need something beyond good looks. She’s just perfect for me and everything that I am looking for. I don’t want to jinx it by talking too much about it. All I will say is that it’s deadly serious and I will hold onto her for dear life.”

Treading cautiously
He seems to have gotten over his divorce with Rajlaxmi. Rahul admits, “Thankfully, it was not an ugly one. That chapter is now closed. We have been legally divorced for over a year. I have been blessed to be surrounded by good family and friends who helped me get over it.” He adds. “My relationships have always been very serious. I will plan how to go ahead with this one, as I have always done in the past. When we are ready, I will announce in the proudest manner to the whole world!”

Back with the Bhatts
Rahul also is making a comeback to B-Town this year. Apart from the comedy caper thriller, 2016 The End, directed and produced by Jaideep Chopra (directed and produced Maazii), where Rahul plays a don in a pivotal role, he is also back in the Bhatt camp. His next three films are under the banner which includes one with Mahesh Bhatt and another with his daughter Pooja. “I would like them to make the announcements, so I can’t give too many details.”

Bollywood actor Rahul Roy has been married to Rajlaxmi for more than 14 years, but now they have decided to part ways. Says a source, “The couple was married in 2000 and they have decided to go split up. They have filed for divorce and it is a mutual decision.”

It may be pointed out that Rahul and Rajlaxmi have been together for almost 16 years and the couple are apparently not ending their relationship on a sour note. “Both of them were deeply in love with each other but now they have moved on. It’s shocking to hear about their divorce,” says a source close to the couple.

When contacted, Rahul confirmed the news. He said, “Yes, we have filed for divorce by mutual consent. Rajlaxmi will always remain an integral part of my life. She shares the same sentiment. Her family is still my family and that’s that. I’ll always be there for her.”
