Bigg Boss 20 contestant Kushal Tanwar, widely known as Gullu, recently opened up about a challenging period in his personal life during an emotional conversation with fellow contestant Qazi Touqeer. Gullu revealed his divorce in 2024, a mere four to five months after his marriage, which he described as a "very depressing phase."
A Brief Marriage Amidst Family Expectations
Gullu shared that his marriage took place due to family expectations. Despite his initial attempts to make the relationship work, he eventually realized it was not sustainable.
• Marriage Duration: Gullu was married for only 4-5 months.
• Divorce Year: The divorce was finalized in 2024.
• Reason: He felt pressured into marriage by his family, stating, "On our side, marriages happen early, and I had to marry because of my family."
• Emotional Toll: He described the period as extremely depressing and difficult.
Struggles with Family and Divorce Proceedings
The decision to pursue a divorce was not initially supported by his family, leading to significant personal turmoil.
• Family Disagreement: "There was a fight in which I wanted divorce and my family was against it."
• Family Cut-off: Gullu revealed that his family members had "cut me off completely at that time."
• Resolution Time: It took a full year for him to settle all matters related to the divorce and family disputes, which took a severe toll on his mental health.
Roadies Stint and Leaked Wedding Photos
Adding to the complexities, Gullu's divorce proceedings coincided with his shooting for the reality show Roadies. The situation became even more challenging when pictures from his wedding unexpectedly surfaced online.
• Roadies Connection: His divorce was underway while he was filming for Roadies.
• Photo Leak Impact: "I was in Goa with the Roadies gang, and someone leaked out images. I thought it was a game over for me. I didn't know what to do."
• Past Controversy: This incident reignited a past controversy where Gullu had previously denied such wedding claims, labeling the circulating pictures as fake.
Moving Forward and Focusing on Career Despite the difficult period, Gullu found the strength to look ahead and prioritize his career. He adopted a resilient mindset, believing that things could only improve from that point onwards. "Nothing can go worse than this; now, life will give me better moving forward from this. And I just decided to focus on my work," he recalled. Gullu expressed a sense of relief, stating he is "finally out of all of this."
