Nandish Sandhu announced his engagement with Kavita Banerjee

Nandish Sandhu, the ex-husband of Rashami Desai, has opted for the path of marriage once again. He has found love again in actress, Kavita Banerjee, and the couple recently got engaged. They officially announced that they became fiancés with a joint Instagram post on October 9, 2025, which included photos from the intimate ceremony and a romantic beach getaway. The engagement officially occurred on September 5, 2025, with Nandish sharing the news over a month later.

Nandish posted a series of mushy couple photos with the caption, "Hi Partner. Ready?" accompanied by heart and ring emojis. Kavita shared a story providing a better glimpse of her engagement ring with the caption '05/09/25'. From hand-holding to looking at each other with heart eyes, Kavita and Nandish's pictures exuded wholesome vibes. Now the fans eagerly await a reaction from Nandish's ex-wife, Rashami. Although that hasn't happened yet, Nandish previously shared the status of his relationship with Rashami after their divorce.

Are Rashami Desai and Nandish Sandhu still friends after their divorce?

Eight years after Rashami and Nandish's divorce, he sat for an interview with Siddharth Kannan, where he addressed his dynamics with Rashami Desai post their divorce. Nandish revealed that he was not friends with his ex-wife because he felt hurt by certain things she said in interviews after their separation, which led to several pointed fingers at him. He added that he chose to maintain his dignity by not speaking ill of her publicly. Nandish further explained his reasoning and discussed the issues surrounding their breakup.

According to him, it was a 'wise decision' on their part to opt for mutual parting rather than forcing the marriage when things were not going as planned. After they started living together, they realised they were not compatible and that their 'thought processes' did not align. Nandish also noted that they were pretty young when they rushed into marriage, which was not very mature. Opening up about their irreconcilable differences, he said:

"I think it was a wise decision on both our parts that we mutually decided to go our separate ways. Things were not working out in terms of our thought processes. Our thoughts, our vision, our temperament was not the same, so I think we just hurried into it. We were young then, not very wise."

Nandish was particularly upset that everybody pointed fingers at him, and believed whatever Rashmi said about him in interviews, including him being abusive and like 'Casanova'. He 'started feeling cornered', which took a toll on both his personal and his professional life. Now, he might have been in a better place, finding solace in Kavita Banerjee.
