Kushal Tanwar, widely recognized as Gullu, recently made a candid revelation on Bigg Boss 20, sharing intimate details about a past marriage that ended in divorce within just four to five months in 2024. The reality television star spoke about navigating an intensely challenging personal phase during this period, which he had previously kept private.
Emotional Fallout from a Brief Union
Inside the Bigg Boss house, while conversing with fellow contestant Qazi Touqeer, Gullu elaborated on what he termed his "low phase." He described the experience as a "heartbreak," distinct from a typical romantic breakup, but profoundly impactful. Gullu explained that he felt compelled to take a significant step for his own well-being, even though others might have viewed it negatively. "I had to take that step for myself," he stated, referring to his decision to divorce in 2024.
The Pressure to Marry Young
Gullu further delved into the circumstances that led to his marriage, indicating he had emerged from a highly strenuous situation. He recounted the societal pressure prevalent in his community to marry at an early age. "Humari side naa aaj bhi shaadiyan jaldi karte hain," he explained, adding that there's a common sentiment that if one isn't pursuing other endeavors, marriage becomes the default option. His brief union lasted approximately four and a half to five months.
Family Conflict and Public Leak
During his time on the reality show Roadies, while still married, a photograph from Gullu's wedding unexpectedly surfaced online. He recalled that this incident occurred when he was already in disagreement with his family, who wished for him to remain in the marriage, while he sought a divorce. The leak, coupled with his family's insistence, intensified the conflict. "My family got upset with me and stopped talking to me," Gullu revealed, reflecting on how he eventually grew accustomed to solitude following the ordeal. He noted that after winning Roadies, he felt that things could only improve from that point onward.
