Neliima Azeem was married to actor Rajesh Khattar for 12 long years and in a recent interview, Rajesh opened up about their relationship and how they parted ways. The actor recalled that the two met in 1990 on the set of a television show and soon formed a strong friendship, which eventually turned into a relationship.
“It started with friendship. We met on the set. One thing led to another and in fact, we landed up in Mumbai together,” he shared with Sidhharth Kannan. Rajesh said that they were together for over a year before they tied the knot. “We have beautiful memories together,” he shared. They have a son, Ishaan Khatter.
When asked if Rajesh Khattar and Neliima Azeem are still in touch with each other, the actor said, “100 percent. Definitely. I am still in touch with her. Vandana and Neliima are good friends. They are also in touch with each other.” Rajesh and Vandana Sajnani have been married since 2008. Rajesh was asked about his relationship with Neliima falling apart and the actor said that it’s a “long story” and did not divulge many details. “Let me tell you one thing, if you ask someone what went wrong with their relationship, and if that relationship happened 5-10 years ago, no one has a clear answer. People just say I don’t know,” he shared. The actor mentioned “incompatibility” and shared that it’s a “long story”.
In an earlier interview with Bollywood Bubble, Neliima had opened up about her marriage with Rajesh and said, “The second marriage would have lasted if certain things didn’t happen which were difficult to encounter… It was difficult, it was an impossible feat. I think it would have worked out if there was more control and more logic and sense in it. But it went, it flew out. And it happens in Bombay with all the struggle and with all the pressures, sometimes people succumb to it. But I have the ability to get up and start walking again, and I have these lovely boys in my life, my sons (Shahid and Ishaan), they were a great inspiration for me and a source of so much happiness and encouragement.”
Neliima Azeem had also spoken about her friendship with Vandana Sajnani and said, “I’d like to give Vandana the credit here because Vandana is somebody who has always seeked me and I would say she has taken the initiative to be a friend of mine. And she respects me like I am an elder in a family. She’s just always respected me and admired me and encouraged me to be there for her. I feel comfortable with Rajesh because of that.”
