In the world of entertainment, where fame and personal life often intersect in dramatic ways, TV actress Dalljiet Kaur finds herself once again in the spotlight, but this time not for her professional achievements. Recent headlines have been dominated by her tumultuous second marriage and the subsequent fallout with estranged husband Nikhil Patel.
Dalljiet, known for her roles in various television dramas, took to social media to air her grievances, accusing Nikhil of exploiting her celebrity status for personal gain. Through Instagram stories, she voiced her dismay over Nikhil allegedly hiring a PR agent in India to leverage her name for publicity—a move she sharply criticized as manipulative and unnecessary.

The actress didn't mince words, questioning the motives behind their union and whether Nikhil had married her merely to enhance his own public profile. She urged him to desist from using her name to seek unwarranted attention and mocked his reported engagement with a PR representative as ludicrous.
Beyond the realm of public relations, Dalljiet also accused Nikhil of showing disrespect towards traditional Indian customs—a claim that underscored the cultural dimensions of their discord. In a plea directed at Kenyan authorities, where the couple had been residing, she sought support not just for herself but for their young son Jayden, whose welfare she emphasized amidst the marital strife.
The rift between the couple had escalated earlier when Nikhil publicly disclosed their separation, citing Dalljiet's decision to relocate with Jayden back to India from Kenya—a move that evidently fueled tensions between the two parties.
Adding legal dimensions to their acrimonious split, Dalljiet revealed that upon returning from a trip to Kenya, she had secured a court order preventing Nikhil from disposing of her belongings, highlighting a contentious aspect of their property dispute.
In response to these claims and the ensuing media scrutiny, Nikhil Patel issued an official statement expressing his desire to distance himself from Dalljiet and the ongoing media attention. His legal team, as reported by the Times of India, provided instructions for Dalljiet to retrieve her belongings from their Kenyan residence, signaling a bid to manage the legal proceedings discreetly.
Notably, this isn't the first time Dalljiet Kaur's personal life has made headlines. Her previous marriage to actor Shaleen Bhanot was marred by allegations of domestic violence, marking a pattern of tumultuous relationships that have played out in public view.
