- Ritesh once said in an interview with Entertainment Daily,
I think it was entirely my fault and mistake and my selfish nature that I concealed my identity. I had been worried about how my stock would suffer after exposing my relationship and identity in front of everyone through bad humor. Such is my selfish nature. “
He further added,
I have two or three defense projects in the past and I cannot reveal my identity. This would hit me very hard. We suddenly got married, we met, liked each other and got married. We didn’t plan anything. Now, I am ready to tell the world openly that Rakhi Sawant is my wife. I feel that nothing is more important to me at this moment than Rakhi. So I’m prepared to take the risk. “
