In an interview, when asked about having children, she said,
Fortunately, we both have very understanding parents and families. They definitely want us to have children, and we know they would be happy and the best grandparents in the world if we do, but they let us be free and respect our space and ideas. You know, for practical reasons, we have to leave the city and raise our children in an ideal environment. I see parents constantly running around because of having children. What kind of world will the children come into? So we thought, maybe we can adopt a child and give him a better future. “

Yes, we are living separately. This decision was made out of mutual respect and concern for each other and our families. We are best friends, maybe not a couple anymore. But our friendship will remain the same, through thick and thin. Without further speculation, I am so grateful for the love you have shown us so far.”
After the divorce, Ridhi said in an interview,
We were good friends and had a great relationship. If I were to devalue or take away the grace and dignity of our relationship, then I would be saying the seven years we spent together were garbage, which is not true. I have grown into a mature person and I have a lot to be grateful to Rucker for and always will. We told each other’s families that we will always be a family.”
