Talking about the initial phase after their breakup, Asha admitted, “Of course, grief happens. Handling everything was tough, especially because families were involved, and fans were really upset.” She shared how the emotional aftermath was overwhelming, but over time, she found strength in focusing on her personal growth. Asha revealed that she had always been in a relationship since her school days and the idea of being single felt foreign to her. “I always thought I wasn’t the kind of person who could be alone. But now, being alone feels so liberating.” She emphasized how this new phase in her life allowed her to discover her independence, adding, “Initially, it was difficult, but the growth that happens when you’re just focused on yourself, it’s 2x times faster.”
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Asha and Rithvik continue to maintain a cordial bond. Their decision to part ways was mutual and amicable, with no ill will between them. Asha praised Rithvik for being a supportive partner and revealed that they both chose to pursue different paths in life. The actress also addressed how their breakup was scrutinized by their fanbase, with some fans still trolling her for the split. However, she remains unfazed by the criticism, explaining, “You have to move on in life, and when the time comes, I’ll be vocal about my next relationship.”
