When the young singer and actor Tar Navin Yaowapolkul or Navin Tar and the heiress Namwan Pasavee Phayakkabut appeared on the Club Friday Show produced by CHANGE2561, airing Saturday, 21 March at 10:00 on Channel One 31, they revealed the reasons their relationship was shaken to the point of almost divorcing.
Navin Tar shared his troubled past, including being expelled from school for mischievous acts. What caused such a troubled youth to change so drastically? Heavy studies, self-imposed pressure, and depression. Navin Tar and heiress Namwan also revealed they got engaged in the morning and married that evening. Namwan disclosed she forbade Navin from heavy exercise due to health concerns, which led to serious arguments. Navin Tar recounted his near-death experience in the ICU, waking up unable to recall his wife's or child’s names.
Was it serious enough that you intended to divorce?
Navin Tar: I admit I was at fault and genuinely planned to divorce.
Heiress Namwan: I said, let the pain be once and the worst it can be.
Navin Tar: This really shook our relationship; we have not yet fully overcome it.
Heiress Namwan: I was heartbroken and had no one to talk to; this is what he deserved and what I gave him.
Were you expelled from two schools?
Navin Tar: I was very mischievous, bullying friends, blowing up a school wall with firecrackers tied together, leaving a hole. No remorse. The second expulsion was due to fighting — a brawl involving the whole school. I was still in grade 11 and hadn’t graduated.
A troubled youth unrepentant — at that time, the turning point was your father. Navin Tar: heavy studies, pressure, depression?
Navin Tar: After graduating with first-class honors and a gold medal, gaining much fame, I received an Ananda Mahidol scholarship and left everything to study in the U.S. for nine years. The studies were intense and stressful. I felt disappointed, unable to succeed, became depressed, blamed myself. I was so depressed I didn’t answer calls, didn’t clean my room, surrounded by trash, just lying there.
How did you two meet?
Navin Tar: I was struck by her, amazed — was she a human or an angel?
Married just months after meeting?
Heiress Namwan: We never dated one-on-one but got engaged.
What surprising words did he say when proposing?
Heiress Namwan: He expressed that he wanted children, to continue his lineage, but not to have me as the mother of his children.
Even more unusual, the proposal was in the morning and they married that evening?
Heiress Namwan: At that time, I hadn’t told my parents. We got married, and I told them that night.
Did they know you were Navin Tar’s girlfriend?
Heiress Namwan: They didn’t know.
What was your worst fight?
Heiress Namwan: We fought for six months. After I fractured my hip in a bicycle fall, he insisted on running every morning. I forbade it daily, and he got annoyed, thinking I hated his sports and what he loved.
Navin Tar: Because I was stubborn.
Heiress Namwan: The doctor said if he kept running like that, he would need to amputate his leg.
Was there an accident where you woke up not recognizing anyone?
Navin Tar: I lost consciousness severely. It was a near-death experience. I wondered if I had died. When I woke up, there were wires everywhere.
Heiress Namwan: He was in the ICU about seven days with kidney failure and had CPR. When he woke, he looked at me as if he didn’t know me.
Navin Tar: I couldn’t remember her name or our child’s name.
