People pack their bags too quickly now. That is the verdict from television lead Shivangi Joshi, who offered a blunt assessment of modern relationship burnout months after her own quiet split from co-star Kushal Tandon. Joshi argues that impatience has curdled how contemporary couples navigate conflict, with partners walking out instead of weathering difficult stretches.
Her diagnosis is unsparing. Modern daters, she noted, treat separation as a first resort rather than a final reckoning.
"These days, I feel people don't want to make an effort," Joshi said during an interview discussing shifting social mindsets. "I think people today live too much in the moment and have also become extremely temperamental. So, the moment they feel something isn't working out, their reaction is, 'Okay, let's just part ways.'"
She did not dismiss self-preservation entirely. Putting oneself first has its place—yet Joshi warned that unchecked individualism strips away the patience required to resolve mutual differences.
People have become more focused on themselves and on their own needs. And I do believe that one should think about oneself too, but these days, leaving has become very easy for people. That is one thing I don't think is good.
The remarks inevitably cast a reflective light over Joshi's own recent private history. Romance rumors first ignited on the sets of the television drama Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Kaa, where she and Kushal Tandon shared top billing and palpable on-screen chemistry. The co-stars initially shielded their private lives behind routine denials.
Then came October 2024, when Tandon broke protocol and publicly confirmed he was in love.
The courtship unraveled behind closed doors shortly thereafter. In June 2025, Tandon posted a sudden Instagram Story announcing that the relationship had ended five months earlier—a post he abruptly pulled down hours later. The two subsequently unfollowed each other on social media. Neither performer has disclosed the specific dispute that dissolved the partnership, letting Joshi's latest words on romantic endurance stand as the closest public commentary to date.
