He is the big name in the Tamil industry. He is a prominent actor, director, screenwriter, producer, playback singer and lyricist. Just like his professional life, his personal life is also an open book. We are talking about none other than the superstar, Kamal Haasan. Unfortunately, his personal life and relationships weren’t as successful as his professional life.
Right from yesteryear actress Srividya, dancer Vani Ganpathi, Gujarati actress Sarika to actress Simran Bagga and Gautami Tadimalla, Kamal keep hitting the headlines for his relationship status. After 13 years of live-in-relationship, Kamal parted ways with Gautami. And finally, Gautami spilt the beans on the reason of their split. She said, “I had taken the decision to walk out and make my own life because it had become painfully clear to me over a time period even prior to October 2016 that our personal code of conduct and commitment had become completely divergent. In my commitment to our relationship, I had believed that we shared the values and ideals that I have held dear all my life."
She further added, “Mutual respect, love, commitment and honesty are indispensable in any relationship and especially in sharing a life. And when these are absent, everyday life becomes an unrelenting torment with a shattered self-respect. The reason for the failure of this relationship does not lie with anybody else, especially with Shruti. So much has been said about her supposed differences with me that led to this breakup but that is not true. No third person, especially children, can ever be responsible for the state of a personal relationship between adults. Both Shruti and Akshara are wonderful young ladies who I knew as children and I continue to look upon them as such till today. Neither of them have any responsibility for the breakdown of the relationship. That rests entirely on Mr. Haasan’s change in commitment and my inability to accept that compromise and destroy my self-respect.” (Also Read: Our Lives Will Never Be The Same Again: Boney Kapoor's Emotional Note After Sridevi's Death)
Since both of them didn’t believe in the constitution of marriage, Gautami and Kamal decided to stay in a live-in relationship. Gautami stayed silent for seventeen months but finally revealed that her relationship with Kamal lacked respect. It came to an end because of Kamal’s change in his commitment towards her, and her inability to compromise on that. She wrote, “In spite of facing significant challenges, I have never been deterred from my decision to make my life alone. I would rather fight an honorable battle for survival alone than continue to exist with the heartache of compromising my self-respect in a relationship where my love and commitment is not respected and reciprocated. I have maintained a dignified silence through the past seventeen months on these matters and more, as I have always tried to look ahead with a positive and progressive attitude though this has been extremely difficult during some periods that I have had to face.”
On November 1, 2016, announcing their separation, Gautami wrote in her blog, “It is heartbreaking for me to have to say today that I and Mr. Haasan are no longer together. After almost 13 years together, it has been one of the most devastating decisions that I have ever had to make in my life. It is never easy for anyone in a committed relationship to realise that their paths have irreversibly diverged and that the only choices in front of them are to either compromise with their dreams for life or to accept the truth of their solitude and move ahead. It has taken me a very long time, a couple of years at the very least, to accept this heartbreaking truth and come to this decision.” (Also Read: Vishal Singh Aka Naitik From 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' Is Dating Popular TV Actress, Pics Inside)
