Dalljiet Kaur is currently enduring one of the most challenging phases of her life as she battles a legal dispute with her estranged husband, Nikhil Patel. What once appeared to be a fairytale marriage has now become a tumultuous ordeal, with Dalljiet recounting the sacrifices she made during their relationship.
According to a recent report by Times Now, Dalljiet’s mother had lovingly handed her a special saree before she left India to settle in Kenya with Nikhil. However, Nikhil later expressed a desire to use this cherished saree to create a sofa cover. In an effort to fulfill her husband’s wish, Dalljiet made the difficult decision to cut up the saree, transforming it into a cover for their sofa.
Sources reveal that the Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon 2 actress was brought to tears as she watched the saree—rich in sentimental value—being cut into pieces. Deeply attached to traditions, Dalljiet was emotional but believed that turning the saree into a sofa cover would symbolize a shrine to their love. Despite the emotional weight of this decision, she chose to honor Nikhil’s request.
Currently, Dalljiet is awaiting the return of several valuable belongings from Nikhil’s home in Kenya. The situation escalated when Nikhil threatened to give away her possessions to charity, prompting Dalljiet to seek a court order to protect her belongings. Reports suggest that Nikhil has since moved her items to a storage room.
During the ongoing legal battle, Dalljiet requested the sofa, to which she held a deep emotional connection, be returned to her. However, Nikhil reportedly ripped the sofa cover—crafted from her mother’s saree—into shreds, keeping only some fragments in storage.
Adding to the distress, Nikhil recently posted pictures on social media flaunting the same sofa with a new yellow cover. A source close to Dalljiet expressed outrage, stating, “It’s embarrassing how this man is flaunting his cruelty and being proud of it. She had torn her saree to become a part of his life forever. It had a lot of emotional value as it was a saree given to her by her mother on her wedding day. Even the cloth that Nikhil’s sister tied during the gathbandhan was turned into a lamp shade, meant to be a lifelong memory. Instead of honoring these memories, Nikhil chose to destroy them.”
On August 22, 2024, Dalljiet Kaur shared an update on her ongoing court case in Kenya, revealing her disappointment. She expressed concern over Nikhil and his legal team’s attempts to deny the legitimacy of their marriage, adding yet another layer of complexity to her battle for justice.
This emotional and legal struggle highlights the deep personal sacrifices Dalljiet Kaur has made, and her fight continues as she seeks to reclaim not just her belongings, but her dignity and peace of mind.
