Meanwhile, Maheep Kapoor got popular with the show 'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives'. The reality show has two seasons so far and is gearing up for the third season. Maheep has garnered a good fan following post her appearance on the show. In the show, Maheep's personality of being brutally honest and upfront about all things has impressed the audience.
In the second season, she also opened up about her marriage with Sanjay and the time he cheated on her. "Initially in my marriage, there was an indiscretion that Sanjay had or whatever. I walked out with Shanaya. I stood up for myself but then, I had a newborn baby. Again, as a woman and as a mother, the first priority is my child. I owed my daughter this amazing father, which he is. I owed it to myself. And if I look back and if I broke this s''t up, I would have regretted it all my life. Because when my kids walk into my home, my husband walks into my home, this is their sanctuary. They need to feel peace. And I feel Sanjay gives that to me also."
Seema then asked her if she had forgiven Sanjay, Maheep replied saying, "For what happened 100 years ago, of course. And I want to tell you that for me, I am grateful that we moved on... Marriage is shades of grey. I know that for him, marriage is life-long." Later, while speaking to the cameras, she said, "I wanted my marriage to work. At any cost. And I did it selfishly for me and for my child. It was not a compromise at all. It was for me."
