TV actress Dalljiet Kaur’s second marriage to Nikhil Patel has ended acrimoniously, with the couple separating just months after tying the knot. Dalljiet has now filed an FIR against Nikhil, accusing him of cruelty and criminal breach of trust. The complaint was lodged on August 2 at Agripada Police Station in Mumbai, invoking sections 85 and 316(2) of the Indian Penal Code.
Nikhil Patel, who resides in Kenya, is currently in India. He was spotted at Mumbai airport on Friday with his alleged girlfriend. This legal action by Dalljiet is not the first; in June, she approached the Nairobi City Court to obtain a stay order preventing Nikhil from evicting her and their son, Jaden, from their Kenyan home.
Earlier Conflicts and Legal Battles
Nikhil had previously sent a legal notice to Dalljiet, accusing her of harassment. He claimed that her social media posts alleging his extramarital affair were defamatory and violated several Indian laws, including the Information Technology Act 2000 and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012.
The Marriage and Separation
Dalljiet Kaur and Nikhil Patel were married in March 2023 but filed for divorce within 10 months. Nikhil confirmed their separation in May, attributing the split to Dalljit’s decision to leave Kenya with her son in January. He stated, “We both felt that our family foundation was not as strong as we had hoped, which made it difficult for Dalljiet to settle in Kenya.”
Recent Developments
On Friday, coinciding with Nikhil’s birthday, Dalljiet took to Instagram to share their wedding pictures. In her post, she accused Nikhil of causing her distress, citing incidents such as sending her belongings to storage prematurely and erasing a wall painting she cherished. She wrote, “You have many ways to hurt me and I know you are not done yet. You will find more ways soon.”
The ongoing legal and personal battles between Dalljiet Kaur and Nikhil Patel have captured significant media attention, highlighting the tumultuous nature of their brief marriage. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the legal proceedings will unfold.
