Neelam Kothari opened up on her reason for divorce from her first husband, Rishi Sethia
In a candid revelation on the Netflix series, Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, Neelam Kothari shared deeply personal details about her 2000 marriage to UK-based businessman, Rishi Sethia and why it eventually ended. Neelam stated that after moving abroad, she was pressured to change her name, adopt a strictly traditional Indian wardrobe, and give up alcohol and non-vegetarian food. She felt as if her entire being was being snatched away from her. Sharing that she was not fine with the clauses, Neelam said:
“I was told to wear Indian clothes, give up non-veg, and don’t drink. I was fine with everything. Changing my name also, according to me, people do that, but changing my identity, that is something I was not okay with.”
