Actor Rakul Preet Singh recently addressed the buzz around a statement made by her husband, Jackky Bhagnani, where he referred to their marriage as an “exclusive situationship.” The comment quickly went viral, sparking debate online.
Sharing a screenshot of the headline, Rakul pointed out that the remark had been taken out of context and presented in a misleading manner.In a note on social media, Rakul explained how a single line from a much longer conversation was highlighted without its full meaning. “We had a great laugh today about how one line from an hour-long conversation can suddenly become the headline. Funny… until it’s not. Context matters.
Nuance matters. Conversation deserve better than being reduced to clickbait. Maybe it’s time platforms take a little more responsibility for the narratives they create (sic),” she wrote, urging for more responsible storytelling.
Jackky Bhagnani’s statement that sparked controversy
The remark in question came during an interview with a YouTube channel, where Jackky spoke about his relationship with Rakul, known for films like ‘De De Pyaar De’. Reflecting on their equation, he shared that both of them had experienced life’s highs and lows and were not seeking to fill any emotional void through marriage.
Elaborating on his perspective, Jackky said, “Rakul and I are married, but we are like in a situationship, which is, of course, we are exclusive to each other, because that’s why we are married. But the most important thing is that I can talk to her about anything.” He stressed that openness and communication form the foundation of their bond.
Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani’s relationship
To explain further, Jackky gave an everyday example, saying he would comfortably take a call from an ex-partner on speaker even in Rakul’s presence.
According to him, there are no secrets between them, and that level of honesty keeps their relationship free from pressure or discomfort.The “situationship” remark soon became the focal point of online discussions, overshadowing the broader conversation. Rakul’s response made it clear that she believes the narrative was oversimplified, with a nuanced discussion reduced to a single, attention-grabbing line. Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani were in a relationship for three years before tying the knot on February 21, 2024, in Goa, marking the beginning of their new journey together.
