Seema Sajdeh, known from ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’, opens up about finding love again at 49 with her former fiancé, Vikram Ahuja, and why marriage isn’t part of their future plans.
From Bollywood Wife to Independent Voice
Seema Sajdeh first gained widespread recognition through Karan Johar’s Netflix series, ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’. In the show’s initial season, viewers saw her navigating the complexities of her divorce from Sohail Khan after 24 years of marriage. Later seasons followed her journey as a single mother and eventually introduced her new partner, Vikram Ahuja.
Interestingly, Ahuja is the same man Seema was engaged to before she eloped with Sohail Khan back in 1998. This adds a unique full-circle aspect to her current relationship.
On Divorce and Relationship Red Flags
While Seema had previously remained private about the reasons for her divorce, she recently shared her insights in an interview with Filmfare. She revealed that “disrespect” is the one thing she absolutely cannot tolerate in a relationship.
When asked about infidelity, Seema offered a nuanced perspective, stating that it “cannot be a deal breaker.” She explained that people do “slip,” and how a couple navigates such a phase and what they learn from it is crucial. For her, especially when children are involved, their stability takes precedence over an immediate separation due to infidelity.
Rekindling a Past Love at 49
Seema spoke openly about finding love again in her late 40s with Vikram Ahuja. She shared that they have known each other since she was 13 years old, growing up together. Their initial engagement was a natural step given their long history, but their paths diverged when they were both much younger.
Today, Seema describes their connection as a “solid friendship” and companionship. She noted that at this stage of life, it’s less about the “butterflies in your stomach” and more about finding a sense of stability and enduring partnership.
Why Marriage Isn’t On The Cards
Despite their deep connection, Seema made it clear that marriage is not part of their future. She explained her reasoning, highlighting her age, nearly 49, and the fact that both she and Vikram have two children from their previous relationships.
“He’s got a life. I have a life. And we both have a life together,” she stated. Seema emphasized the beauty of being together without expectations, noting that neither is dependent on the other. For her, their comfort and security with each other are paramount, and a “piece of paper is not going to change that.”
