Small screen actor Ravi Bhatia who shot to fame with Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Jodha Akbar’ is hitting the headlines as his marriage with Indonesian air hostess Yulida Handayani is now over.


While talking to TOI, the actor, who feels that his marriage in August 2016 was a hasty decision, says, “Yulida and I were in a relationship for a short while, but she got pregnant and we got married. When we got married, she was three months pregnant. Marriage is a big decision and it needs to be given a serious thought.”

Ravi , who was last seen playing the antagonist in 'Ishq Subhan Allah', had met Yulida during his acting stint in Indonesia a few years ago. “She’s a nice girl, but cultural differences were some of the reasons for the break-up. So, we both felt it was best to separate amicably and live happy lives,” he adds.

Meanwhile, the custody of their three-year-old son is with Yulida. “The best part of our relationship was our son and I miss him very much. I know she will take good care of him, so it was best that he grows up with her. Every night when I go to sleep, I feel his presence by my side. He has a bright future ahead and I will fulfill all my responsibilities that I have towards him,” Ravi said.

Ravi, who got popular by playing Salim in 'Jodhaa Akbar' admitted that it's tough for a marriage to last for long nowadays.
