Pavitra Punia and Eijaz Khan used to be the ‘IT’ couple of the television world. Sparks flew between the two in the Bigg Boss house during the 14th season of the show, and they went on to date for three years.
However, the couple called it quits earlier this year. Pavitra has now opened up about what led to her break up. She indirectly called Eijaz a ‘narcissist’ and revealed the two tried to make it work but could not after a point.
Pavitra Punia Opens Up About the Reason Behind Split with Eijaz Khan
Pavitra Punia interviewed Telly Masala about why she broke up with Eijaz Khan. She hinted that Eijaz was a ‘narcissist’ and that she did not want to be submissive to him.
“Koshish karte rahe. Ab ye baat main bahut auraton ko bolti hoon. Aurat submissive achi lagti hai, no doubt. Aurat fragile, feminine achi lagti hai, samjha mujhe. Lekin jab aurat ek aise bethi hui hai, tab aap usko puchkaroge na? Aap se wo gently baat kar rahi hai na? I tell this to every woman, agar mard dabata hi ja raha hai, he is a narcissist,” the Baalveer actress said.
She further motivated women to speak up and not stay with narcissistic men: “Mat raho. Hum dono ka aisa hogaya tha ke ek trime pe aake try kiya kiya, par nahi hua. Too much masculinity and too much feminity side ka bahut bada role play kiya tha is relationship ne.”
Earlier rumors suggested that Pavitra and Eijaz broke up due to religious differences. Refuting the claims, the actress said, “No. My extended family was pleased. Unko toh aisa lag raha tha ke inki toh industry aisi hai yahan jaat paat dekhte nahi hai.”
“I did tell him that l am not going to convert myself. Jo insan paidaishi apne dharm ka wafadar nahi ho saka aur usko chhod diya, wo tumhare sath rahega? Tumhara bhi wafadar nahi hoga woh,” Pavitra concluded.
Pavitra is known for her roles in shows like Daayan, Naagin 3, Baalveer Returns, and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. She was last seen in Dangal’s Ishq Ki Dastaan – Naagmani. On the other hand, Eijaz was recently seen in the Sony Liv series Adrishyam – The Invisible Heroes. He also made an appearance in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan last year.
