'Vineet Bangera left me in December 2016 and never came back': 'Kalyug' actor Ssmilly Suri opens up on her divorce

Mohit Suri's sister and Kalyug actor Ssmilly Suri wasn't seen much on the big screen after her debut. She made a career as a  choreographer and is a successful pole dance instructor now. In 2014, Ssmilly had tied the knot with her Salsa mentor and beau Vineet Bangera but they got separated in 2016 itself. The couple had even participated in the dance-based reality show Nach Baliye a few years back. Now after being separated for three years, their divorce was finalised last month.

Talking about her marriage, Ssmilly told Bombay Times, "Vineet was my Salsa teacher, and it’s easy to fall in love with your mentor, especially in a dance form, which is all about proximity. We connected over our passion for dance and mistook it for love. We realised that our decision was wrong only after marriage and staying under the same roof — our backgrounds and approach towards life was different."

She further said, "I tried my best to make the marriage work but in vain. My family, too, including my brother Mohit (Suri), cousin Emraan (Hashmi), his wife Parveen and my aunt Kumkum Saigal, tried their best to mediate, only to realise that the cracks were too deep. When every attempt failed, they gave me the strength to face those trying times. Vineet left me in December 2016 and never came back. I guess he realised before me that our marriage wasn’t working."

Ssmilly went on to say, "After that day when he left me, I met him directly on the day I acquired the divorce decree. We didn’t speak to each other, but I wish him well. I hope that we bury our differences someday and dance together again. I want to be friends with him now."
