Jackky Bhagnani and Rakul Preet Singh’s "Situationship": Why the Actor Called His Marriage Undefined!
In the world of modern dating, the term
"situationship" usually describes a "complicated" or
undefined bond. However, Bollywood actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani has
just given the Gen Z buzzword a refreshing, healthy twist.
During a candid appearance on the YouTube podcast Zingabad
on April 23, 2026, Jackky described his marriage to actress RakulPreet Singh as a "situationship," sparking a viral conversation
about emotional independence and transparency in marriage.
"Exclusive but Not Suffocated": The New
Marriage Mantra
Jackky and Rakul, who tied the knot in a stunning Goa
ceremony on February 21, 2024, opened up about why their dynamic feels
different from traditional expectations.
"Rakul and I are married, but we are like in a
situationship. Of course, we are exclusive—that’s why we are married—but the
most important thing is that I can talk to her about anything," Jackky
shared.
For Jackky, the term "situationship" represents a
relationship free from the "pressure" and "restrictions"
that often plague traditional marriages. He emphasized that being
"exclusive" doesn't have to mean losing one’s individuality.
The "Speakerphone" Rule: Radical Transparency
To illustrate their level of trust, Jackky shared a
surprising anecdote. He revealed that if an ex-girlfriend calls him while he is
with Rakul, he answers it on speakerphone.
- The
Logic: By keeping nothing hidden, he avoids the feeling of being
"suffocated."
- Rakul’s
Take: Rakul echoed this sentiment, noting that they are "best
friends" first. She emphasized that their relationship isn't about
dependency: "I can go on a holiday by myself. We are not filling a
void in each other's lives."
A Healthy Approach to "Happy Individuals"
The couple, who celebrated their second wedding
anniversary earlier this year, spoke about entering the relationship with
maturity. Jackky noted that since they aren't "20 or 21 anymore,"
they understood that happiness must come from within before it can be shared
with a partner.
Key Highlights of the "DeepVeer" Style Bond:
- Mutual
Respect: No "surrendering" of plans; Rakul stated they are
equals in every sense.
- Shared
Values: Jackky challenged the "opposites attract" theory,
stating that shared ethics and lifestyles (like their love for healthy
eating) are what sustain a long-term bond.
- Work-Life
Balance: Rakul continues to dominate the screen, recently winning Best
Actress at the ZEE Samvad Real Heroes 2026, while Jackky focuses on
high-stakes production ventures.
