Riddhi recently appeared on a podcast for Balaji Telefilms’ YouTube channel where she shared, “I don’t remember what I’ve read, but it’s true that me and my ex-husband Raak, we are very good friends. So, we have actually, you know, saved our friendship by getting out of the marriage because we were not compatible as partners, as husband and wife, but we are very, very good friends. We trust each other. We can, you know, guard each other’s secrets and stand up for each other.”
