The couple divorced in 2013. The reason for the divorce was that Rushade’s in-laws disapproved of his acting career as they wanted him to have a stable corporate job. In an interview, Rushard revealed the reasons for his unhappy marriage, saying:
This is a love and arranged marriage. However, from the beginning, my ex-wife’s family could not accept my career. They felt it was not a guaranteed career and that I should get a corporate job. During that time, I received many acting invitations, but I was always unhappy when filming because I was influenced and felt that this career was not suitable for me. Suddenly, I went from a carefree person to someone who was dissatisfied with my life. I tried to make my marriage work but ultimately it didn’t work out. ”
On January 4, 2023, he married Ketaki Walawalkar.

Because of my work ethic, Kaiji and I didn’t start dating while we were doing the show, and I wouldn’t date anyone on set. We met through a dating app last December and that’s how we connected.
