Popular TV actress Anita Hasanandani recently shared insights into her past relationship with actor Ajaz Khan, shedding light on the challenges she faced. In a candid interview, Anita spoke about how she changed herself for the sake of love and the lessons she learned from that experience. Despite their personal connection, the couple eventually parted ways due to their differences.
Cultural Differences and Family Concerns
Anita revealed that one of the main hurdles in her relationship with Ajaz was their cultural differences. She was Hindu, while Ajaz was Muslim, which led to concerns from her family, particularly her mother. While her mother did not outright oppose the relationship, she was always worried. The actress recalled how she stood up for her relationship, even going against her mother’s wishes. However, despite their efforts, things didn’t work out. “Ajaz and I were good people individually, but not right for each other,” Anita shared.
The Struggle of Changing for Love
Reflecting on her time with Ajaz, Anita admitted that she regrets how much she changed for him. She explained that Ajaz wanted her to adapt to his expectations, and in her love for him, she was willing to do so. “If someone tries to change you to love you, it’s not love,” she said. She went on to express how she lost a part of herself in the process, and that it took her more than a year to heal after their breakup.
Lessons Learned: Don’t Let Anyone Change You
Anita highlighted three important lessons she learned from her relationship with Ajaz. First and foremost, she advised not to stay with someone who tries to change you. Secondly, she mentioned the importance of trust in a relationship, hinting at the need to check for suspicious behavior like hiding one’s phone. Lastly, she pointed out how being distanced from family and friends is a red flag in any relationship, stressing the need for balance and setting priorities right.
Anita’s candid revelations give a glimpse into the emotional journey she went through and the wisdom she gained from it, offering valuable insights to anyone navigating their own relationships.
