New Delhi: Actress Isha Koppikar recently spoke with Bombay Times on the emotional toll of her divorce from hotelier Timmy Narang and its effects on their daughter Rianna. After more than a decade of marriage, the pair announced their separation earlier this year. Timmy confirmed the split to The Times of India, saying that he and his wife had been thinking about it for around 18 months until they decided to end their marriage amicably in November of last year.
Isha said in her interview that Timmy made the decision to end things, and she supported his decision even if it was hard. She shared, "I really cannot pinpoint what went wrong... we just kind of drifted apart. It was his decision, he said, This is not working out'. And I said, 'Okay, fine'. Then, we just parted ways. Only mature people can take decisions like these...It was easy for me not to give him a divorce, but that would go against my values. We separated amicably. It was very tough for me. I wanted some answers, which I got from the universe. I'm very spiritual. What's the point of being together and then bickering and fighting constantly? After all, when something stagnates, it stinks... even water."

Isha said she wanted her 10-year-old daughter Rianna to take her time accepting the issue, thus she was frustrated with Timmy for his careless handling of it. She said, "It was irresponsible of him because I wanted Rianna to accept it slowly. I wanted to bring it up with her in a different way, but before that, he spoke about it. He later agreed that it was a blunder and apologised for it."
For the unversed, Isha and Timmy began dating after knowing one other for three years and eventually got married in November 2009. Their daughter, Rianna was born in 2014.
