The actor has confirmed that the couple have been living separately since 2022 and officially divorced in 2025. Vijayendra and Preeti got married in January 2012 and have a daughter, Kimaya. Television actor Vijayendra Kumeria has finally addressed the speculation around his marriage to Preeti Bhatia.
In a recent conversation, Vijayendra explained why he chose not to speak about his marriage earlier.
They eventually decided to live separately in 2022. It’s not that we didn’t try to resolve our issues, but eventually things didn’t work and we separated in 2022. It was a mutual decision and we got the decree in 2025,” he said. Kimaya, born in October 2016, was a major reason why the couple continued trying to make their marriage work for several years. In a 2021 interview, he had spoken warmly about their equation and credited her for being a strong support in his professional life. The two also ventured into production together, launching Kumeria Productions in October 2019, with Preeti playing a role in the company’s operations. However, by 2023, reports of trouble in their marriage had surfaced, and the two eventually unfollowed each other on Instagram. Over the years, the actor has been part of shows including Shastri Sisters, Udaan, Naagin 4 and Teri Meri Doriyaann.
Being a private person, he found it difficult to deal with the situation at first. However, as time passed, he felt it was better to speak up and clear the air instead of letting people draw their own conclusions. Vijayendra made it clear that the separation was not something he and Preeti decided on overnight. “Such decisions are not taken overnight. We started having a lot of differences and compatibility issues, which escalated with time. The actor also spoke about the role their daughter played in the decision. At the time, their personal and work lives were closely connected. It is not known if Preeti is still associated with the production house. He is currently playing Inspector Sanyam Singh in Colors TV’s Juhi Mui , where he shares the screen with Eisha Singh .
In an interview with Telly Talk India, the actor said he needed time to process and accept the changes in his personal life before discussing them publicly. Their relationship had been going through difficulties for some time, with differences and compatibility issues becoming more difficult to work through, according to the actor. Vijayendra said that while separating was painful, they eventually felt it would be healthier for their daughter to have two happy parents rather than grow up around an unhappy relationship.
