Amit Tandon, a popular television star known for his roles in shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Dil Mil Gaye, recently shared rare insights into his private life during an interview with Siddharth Kannan. For the first time, Amit opened up about a challenging chapter in his marriage with Ruby Tandon and the regrets he carries about decisions that hurt their relationship. Known for his charismatic on-screen presence, the actor has been away from the limelight recently, and his candid conversation gave fans a peek into his journey, one marked by both mistakes and attempts at reconciliation.
Admission of Past Mistakes in Marriage
During the interview, Amit confessed to being unfaithful during his marriage with Ruby, something he regrets deeply. He acknowledged that his actions had a serious impact on his relationship, creating emotional distance that was difficult to bridge. “I let my desires take control over me,” Amit admitted, adding that Ruby remained unaware of these transgressions for some time. However, when the truth emerged, it devastated their relationship and created a rift that, for years, felt insurmountable.
Amit went on to explain the common hope that having a child might heal the strain in a relationship. Despite welcoming a child together, the underlying issues between them persisted. He observed, “We thought a child could fix everything, but it doesn’t work that way.”
Separation and Reunion in 2019
Amit and Ruby tied the knot in 2007, but after a decade of marriage, they separated in 2017. Yet, they reconnected in 2019, showing that, despite the setbacks, they were willing to try to mend their relationship. Amit expressed that while the journey has been rocky, he is committed to moving forward with Ruby, hoping to build a better future together. Their relationship has withstood the strain of distance, as Ruby, a dermatologist, faced additional stress in her career.
The Dubai Incident and Fallout with Mouni Roy
Ruby’s life took a difficult turn when she faced legal troubles in Dubai in 2018, where she was detained for allegedly threatening government officials. During this period, Amit accused actress Mouni Roy, his former co-star from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, of abandoning Ruby when she needed support the most. Amit alleged that Mouni, once close to Ruby, distanced herself during Ruby’s crisis, adding to his resentment. Amit publicly stated that he would not forgive Mouni for what he viewed as a betrayal of their friendship, even expressing that he did not wish to see her again.
Career Highlights and Stepping Away from the Spotlight
Amit Tandon rose to fame in 2005 with Kaisa Yeh Pyaar Hai, capturing viewers’ hearts with his compelling roles across various serials, including Saath Nibhana Saathiya and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. However, he has been largely absent from television in recent years, his last significant role being in Kasam Tere Pyar Ki. While he has stayed away from the limelight, Amit remains an enduring figure for fans who appreciated his roles and are now showing support for him as he navigates a complex personal journey.
