Her marriage with filmmaker Prakash Jha may be long over but Deepti Naval has something rather interesting to say. There seems to be a tinge of regret in her voice as she admits that years after their divorce, she wished she had given some extra effort to their relationship.
Deepti says, `Prakash ji aur mera kabhi koi jhagda bhi nahi hua tha, there is no bitterness. Back then we had realised we had different paths. While he went to Delhi I stayed back here because my acting world was here.` And now the senior actress feels very different after so many years have gone by.
`Now if I re-evaluate (our marriage), I feel agar us time thoda sa waqt de diya hota... I came to India only to act. Had I understood the value (of marriage) that I realised much later, I would have made more effort.
You have a talented and a good person in front of you. At that age my decision seemed right. Now my point of view is different. But I have moved on now. I have the courage to go against the tide and pay for my choices.`
