Ridhi
Dogra
On
Her
Bond
With
Ex-Hubby
Raqesh
Bapat
After
being
married
for
eight
years,
Ridhi
and
Raqesh
parted
ways
officially
a
couple
of
years
ago.
However,
Ridhi
still
thinks
of
Raqesh
as
a
part
of
her
family.
While
speaking
about
her
bond
with
the
Tum
Bin
actor,
she
said,
"Everyone
wants
to
come
home
to
someone.
While
I
do
miss
having
a
companion,
I
feel
that
one
should
learn
to
enjoy
this
phase,
too.
It
is
important
to
love
yourself
and
have
a
relationship
with
yourself
first.
There
are
so
many
who
are
trapped
in
lonely
marriages.
I
feel
it's
important
to
understand
that
you
don't
need
anyone
to
complete
you;
you
should
also
not
be
affected
by
anyone
who
enters
or
exits
your
life.
It
may
sound
bookish,
but
you
have
to
be
at
peace
with
yourself,
understand
your
flaws
and
appreciate
the
good
qualities.
The
inward
journey
is
important.
Raqesh
and
I
have
been
in
touch
occasionally
and
I
know
that
he
is
still
family
for
me.
People
think
that
celebs
can
divorce
and
move
on
in
their
lives,
but
that's
not
true.
It
requires
a
lot
of
dignity
and
grace
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I
am
thankful
to
Raqesh
for
helping
me
evolve
and
our
friendship
has
helped
us
transition
easily
into
a
new
phase.
Currently,
I
feel
gratitude
and
blessed
for
everything
that
I
have
in
life."
The
Actress
On
Spending
Lockdown
Days
Alone
After
divorce,
Ridhi
Dogra
spent
the
lockdown
days
alone.
Notably,
she
never
lived
alone
in
her
life
before.
Interestingly,
she
feels
a
change
in
herself.
The
actress
said,
"When
I
got
divorced
in
2019,
I
had
to
learn
to
live
on
my
own
for
the
first
time
in
my
life.
I
have
never
lived
alone.
Besides
being
married,
I
have
always
enjoyed
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
friends
dropping
and
pets
as
my
companion.
Suddenly
I
found
myself
all
alone
in
a
house
after
my
divorce.
My
brother
stays
a
few
floors
below
and
my
nephew
keeps
dropping
in,
so,
technically,
when
the
lockdown
was
announced
in
2020,
I
was
prepared
to
face
it.
We
had
to
all
learn
to
live
life
in
the
new
normal.
I
just
had
gratitude
in
my
heart
and
kept
praying
for
better
things,
which
probably
helped
me
battle
the
tough
times.
I
have
now
formed
a
healthy
relationship
with
myself."
Ridhi
Dogra
On
Her
Plans
Of
Quitting
Acting
For
the
unversed,
Ridhi
Dogra
had
planned
to
quit
acting,
however,
she
changed
her
mind
after
exploring
the
different
aspects
of
filmmaking.
The
actress
said,
"Before
Woh
Apna
Sa
happened,
I
had
seriously
thought
of
quitting
acting
because
nothing
was
challenging
enough.
I
wanted
to
work
every
day,
but
that
was
not
happening.
I
realised
that
along
with
acting,
it
was
important
to
learn
other
things,
too.
So,
I
turned
to
scriptwriting
and
did
a
few
courses
regarding
the
process
of
filmmaking
and
production.
It's
only
when
the
webspace
opened
up
that
I
felt
I
changed
my
mind,
and
did
not
feel
the
need
to
quit
acting."
