This Morning star breaks silence on devastating split | UK News

Dr Ranj has opened up on his divorce from his spouse practically 20 years in the past after his ex-wife Sulvinder Samra spoke out about the “painful” divorce for the first time. They met in 2003 and wed two years later, but finally split after seven years and the TV doctor announced he was homosexual shortly after. The former This Morning doctor not too long ago opened up about struggling because he “didn’t feel 100% happy”, so went to therapy.

And his former spouse has since spoken out, telling Daily Mail that she switches the TV off if he seems on screen because he “still brings back a lot of painful memories”. She explained that while she’s accepted it, it is “still hard”. Sulvinder was then inundated with help, though the Morning Live doc needed to add furhter insight and launched his own assertion on Instagram and explained he was eager to share “a little perspective”.

He said in the caption that he never anticipated to revisit the subject, but he needed to mirror, and explained that it had been “nearly 20 years” since his divorce. Ranj wrote: “I’m genuinely sad that this subject can still bring up pain and difficult feelings. That has never been, and would never be, my intention.”

Dr Ranj continued: “Out of respect, I’ve always been mindful of identifying or commenting on others involved, as that’s not my story to tell.” He explained that people are still making assumptions and passing judgement but warned that relationships aren’t often simple.

“I fell in love and was married for almost four years in my twenties, for context I turn 47 next month, sadly that relationship broke down for many reasons, not to mention we were young and still working ourselves out,” he added.

It was explained that he then went to therapy for years and began to perceive who he was, telling his followers that he did not growo up to intentionally conceal who he was, nor did he strive to mislead anyone. He continued: “Like many people, I was trying to build the life I thought happiness looked like. If I’d truly known what I know now or it had been in another time, maybe it could’ve been different.”

He added that there are “no winners in break-ups” and the scenario was heartbreaking, but has respect, gratitude and kindness for his ex spouse. Wrapping up the post, Dr Ranj added: “It’s important to keep moving forward, which is often easier said than done. As long as every step we take is with kindness – towards others and ourselves – that’s all that matters.”
