Kanika Maheshwari debunks divorce rumors
In an episode of Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, Kanika cleared the rumours about being divorced and said, “He is not even my ex. I am not divorced. I don’t know who has spread this rumour. I am not divorced, mera kyun divorce karwana chahte ho yaar? (Why are you so keen on getting me divorced?) He is living in Delhi, and I am living in Bombay. We are still married.”
She admitted that she had filed for divorce in 2024 but added, “Voh satya hai lekin it got faded away. Woh bhi kisne leak karni mujhe nahi pata hai. Logon ne mujhe divorced hi bana diya (I don’t even know who leaked that information. People have already declared me divorced). Actually, today, journalism has become a business. Nowadays, sell what is getting sold. We are living separately, we are in a long-distance marriage, but there’s a different fun in romancing like this.”
Kanika added that she and her husband have worked through their challenges amicably and continue to navigate their differences together. Kanika also said that rekindling love requires constant self-growth, honest communication and being truthful with one’s partner.
