Hansika Motwani is getting divorced from husband, Soahel Kathuriya. Amidst it, buzz about her marrying her best friend's husband is all over the news.
Hansika Motwani had the most dreamiest proposal in Paris by her then-boyfriend, Sohael Kathuriya. Followed by a grand wedding and what looked like the completion of a fairy tale, ended on a different note. A year later, Hansika and Sohael parted ways in 2024. Now, the couple has finally filed for divorce, and Hansika seeks no alimony from him.
When Hansika announced her wedding, there was a lot of buzz that she had ruined her best friend's life. The controversy started when Hansika married Sohael in December 2022. The two married at the luxurious Mundota Fort and Palace, which was attended by her close family and friends. Soon, reports surfaced that it was Sohael's second wedding.
However, videos and pictures surfaced, wherein Hansika even attended Sohael's first wedding with Rinky Bajaj, who was the actress's best friend. This led to intense trolling and scrutiny as Hansika was callded a home-wrecker. Later, Hansika addressed the buzz around the same during her wedding show, which streamed on JioHotstar. She talked about getting trolled and people claiming that she ruined her best friend's life. In the first episode of Love Shadi Drama, Hansika addressed the reports. She stated that just because she had known the person at that time doesn't mean it was her fault. She said:
"Just because I knew the person at that time doesn't mean it was my fault. I have nothing to do with this. Because I am a public figure, it was very easy for people to point at me and make me the villain. This was a price I pay for being a celebrity."
Further, Sohael Khaturiya also shared his side of the story and stated that the news about his first marriage came out in a negative light. He revealed that he got married in 2014, and the marriage didn't last long. Sohael stated that since photos of Hansika from his first wedding surfaced, people made up the story. He shared:
“The news that I was previously married came out and it came out in a wrong light. It came out as if the breakup was because of Hansika, which is absolutely untrue and baseless. I was first married in 2014, and that marriage lasted for a very short time. But just because we have been friends and someone saw pictures of her attending my wedding, is why this speculation started. I was taken aback by all attention I was getting suddenly."
As per a recent report in India Today, Hansika had approached the court to file for a divorce by mutual consent. However, she had decided not to make any alimony claims as part of the separation. Hansika was represented by advocate Adnan Shaikh. He claimed that the couple had been living away from each other since 2024.
Regarding what led to their divorce, it is stated that the two realised their temperaments, opinions and lifestyles were significantly different. This would often lead to frequent disagreements between them. The report further stated that the couple's parents, relatives, and friends attempted to help them reconcile, but their efforts to mend the relationship failed. The two have been living apart since July 2, 2024. They both have submitted their affidavits confirming that they don't have any claims or demands against each other.
