Why Marathi Actress Rasika Sunil and Husband Aditya Bilagi Choose a Long-Distance Marriage

Actress Rasika Sunil, widely recognized for her breakout negative role in the hit Marathi serial Mazya Navrachi Bayko, has become a major talking point on social media regarding her unconventional personal life.

Rasika tied the knot with her boyfriend, Aditya Bilagi, in a beautiful ceremony in 2021. Despite being married for five years, the couple continues to turn heads by choosing to live separately. Clarifying the rumors, Rasika recently opened up about their relationship dynamic, emphasizing that their separation has absolutely nothing to do with a divorce—instead, they have happily mastered the art of a long-distance marriage.

Currently taking a break from television screens to star in the Marathi commercial play Damdar, Rasika shared candid details about how the couple makes their bi-continental relationship work.

“We Are Used to the Distance”

In a recent interview, Rasika confessed that living apart has become such an integral part of their routine that the idea of moving into the same house actually brings a humorous bit of anxiety.

“Our friendship, our relationship, and our marriage have all been long-distance,” Rasika explained. “We have become so accustomed to it that now we jokingly wonder if living under the same roof permanently will bring up unexpected adjustments! But jokes aside, we are both incredibly secure about each other.”

She credited their seamless bond to absolute transparency and a strong foundation:

Despite navigating massive time zone differences, the couple remains interconnected from the moment one wakes up until the other goes to sleep through video calls.

“There is no grey area in our relationship, which is a very beautiful thing. When we care about each other, we are fully there. Neither of us makes excuses,” she added.

On Handling Disagreements and Personal Space

When asked whether the distance ever leads to friction or fights, Rasika revealed that their maturity and deep mutual trust keep arguments at bay.

“We are best friends first, which makes everything incredibly easy. I don’t stress over small things because I simply don’t have the time. Beyond that, I love having my own personal space, and so does he. We trust each other with our eyes closed, so we really don’t face the typical problems people expect long-distance couples to have.”

By speaking openly, Rasika has redefined what a successful modern marriage looks like, proving that trust and communication can easily bridge thousands of miles
