In life, no matter how hard one tries to build a relationship, if it is not meant to be, it won’t work. You might put in a lot of effort to rebuild the cracks of a relationship or try to fix it but it is always best to move on. There is no point in hanging on to a relationship or living with the thought that everything will be fine one day. But it is always wise to end a relationship on a good note before it turns unbearable and nasty. Gone are the days when exes won’t be cordial with each other. Breaking all the stereotypes around your ex can’t be your friend is television’s ex-couple, Ridhi Dogra and Raqesh Bapat.

Along with the picture, she also acknowledged being proud of their relationship and how even after their separation, they managed to carry faith, joy and mutual respect for one another. Her caption can be read as “Every where in the world people talk about hate and grief and betrayal and hurt. None talks about all the good things that also make up this world.

I am proud of the integrity and respect we carry!”
Expressing her gratitude to Nichiren Buddhism for evolving her true humanity, she further wrote, “I want to acknowledge and express my gratitude to #nichirenbuddhism for helping me be a living example of what true humanity can do for us humans if we are always in awareness of our choices. Even in hopelessness there is hope. Even in the faithless there is faith. Even in every end there is a beginning. And for all the things people learn from one another, I hope you pick some of the goodness too!!!! Kindness shouldn't be a thing you show by always walking away into a better life and escaping."

It's all about being open to choices. And being aware of those choices. Next time just notice is it your ego making the choice or your soul? Ego will always think of defending the 'I' Soul always thinks harmony of everyone. So cheers to #RRHappyfriendshipsday for life Raq! P.s. Notice how #maskfriendly we were back then also."
