Sana Makbul, the winner of Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, has recently opened up about her breakup with businessman Srikanth Bureddy, whom she had been dating for some time. In an interview with The Free Press Journal, Makbul discussed how her career progression and increased public profile created tension in her relationship with Bureddy, ultimately leading to their separation.

Makbul explained that as her success grew, Bureddy had "issues with a lot of things". She stated that her partner couldn't handle her success. She revealed that in her personal relationship, when she went ahead of the man, he didn't like it. Makbul emphasized the difficulty that strong, independent women face in being fully accepted in relationships. She believes that society still struggles with the balance of accepting successful women, and that men, in particular, can find it challenging when their partner's achievements overshadow their own.

"You said people can't handle strong-headed women - that's absolutely true. Especially men can't handle women like us. I've experienced that," Makbul said. She further elaborated, "It's very difficult for a man to accept that, 'Oh, she's doing better than me,' or 'Oh, she's loved by many.' They do get insecure about it. I've faced this in my personal life. I've seen that the person who loved me suddenly started having issues with a lot of things".

Makbul revealed that the issues in her relationship stemmed from insecurity, which made acceptance difficult. She noted that when one partner achieves greater visibility or success, it can trigger unexpected reactions and create imbalances within the relationship.

According to reports, Makbul and Bureddy ended their relationship shortly after Bigg Boss OTT 3 concluded. While neither made any official announcements at the time, sources suggested the breakup was amicable and due to compatibility issues. Makbul refrained from directly addressing the rumors, further fueling speculation. Bureddy also maintained a low profile and avoided media interactions.

Makbul emphasized that her decision to end the relationship was a necessary step to preserve her sense of self. She stated that she tried to adjust and accommodate, but ultimately couldn't understand the changes in her partner's behavior. "I feel when you don't understand certain things, you should leave it at that and just let go," she said.

Makbul's experience highlights the challenges that can arise when personal growth and professional success intersect with intimate relationships. She continues to prioritize her career and personal growth, guided by the principles instilled by her family. Makbul's mother taught her to stand her ground when she is not wrong, a philosophy she applies to her life.
