In his post, Chahar spoke openly about his decision to marry young and the lessons he learned along the way. He acknowledged that he embarked on marriage without fully understanding himself or the future he wanted.
“I entered marriage at a young age, before I fully understood myself, my worth, or the life I truly wanted to build. What followed were years of lessons I never expected, and the last fifteen months spent navigating courtrooms, learning patience, resilience, and the strength that comes from truth,” he wrote.
The bowler also noted that the legal process has come to an end. “After due legal process, the matter has been settled with my resolution that cost a lot, bringing finality to this phase of my life. I close this chapter not with anger or regret, but with clarity,” he stated.
Chahar expressed that he is moving forward with a renewed sense of self-awareness and purpose. He described his relationship as one that brought about awakening and transformation, even if it was not meant to last.
“Some relationships are not meant to last forever; they are meant to awaken us, teach us, and transform us,” he added, citing his intention to build a life focused on “self-respect, peace, and better choices.”
