‘Biwi Ko Nahi Pata Tha’
Abhijeet Saawant, who rose to fame after winning Indian Idol Season 1, recently admitted that he had a profile on Tinder and his wife was not aware of this. In a recent interview with HindiRush, he also revealed that he spoke to some women on the app but neither did anything or met anyone.
While talking about making a profile on Tinder, Abhijeet revealed, “I’m a curious person. I’ve always had curiosity. I was in the US with my friend, and he said, ‘This is a new app. It’s for dating’. I made my profile then, and it was there as it is. Main kabhi kabhi beech mein jaata tha, dekhta tha kya hai yeh sab kya hota hai? Maine apna hi naam rakha tha sab kuch sahi tha. Biwi ko nahi pata tha. But kuch kiya nahi, kisise mila bhi nahi, kuch tha bhi nahi (I used to check out the app sometimes as to what it is, what happens there? I had shared my name and details. My wife didn’t know. But I didn’t do anything, I didn’t meet anyone, I didn’t have anything).”
He added, “Match aata tha, baat karte the. Yeh cheeze na bohut ajeeb hai. Mujhe baat karne ka shokh hai aur aap ladkiyon se bohut deep baat karsakte ho…Main baat karta tha bohut. 2-3 log mil gaye the jo baat karte the acche se. Baad mein Twitter pe agaya ki mera account hai, phir maine bola ki ‘Yeh accha nahi lagega’. Usko nahi pata abhi tak, ab pata chal raha. Woh bichari usko pata bhi nahi kya hota hai Tinder. Ab pata chalgaya, open yaar, usme kya hai? Cheezein karni hai toh thok k karo phir. Kitna main sab cheeze jod sakta hoon yaar (I used to match with people, spoke too. It’s very weird. I like talking, and you can talk in depth with women…I used to talk a lot. I spoke with 2-3 people, it was nice. Then it was on Twitter that I had an account, and I thought, ‘This won’t look good’. She (wife) didn’t know it, now she will know. It’s open, what’s there? If you want to do something, do it unabashedly. How can I handle everything)?”
Abhijeet married his wife Shilpa in 2007 and they couple have two kids. They also participated in Nach Baliye Season 4.
