Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar and hairstylist Adhuna Akhtar, his wife of 15 years, have announced their separation.
The couple issued a joint statement stating that they have ended their marriage and would like their privacy to be respected.
“This is to announce that we, Adhuna and Farhan, have mutually and amicably decided to separate. Our children remain our priority and it is immensely important to us, as responsible parents, that they be protected from unwarranted speculation and public glare. We sincerely request that we are given the privacy that is required at this time to move forward in a dignified manner.”
The couple has always been all praises for each other. In an earlier interview, Farhan had said:
“I believe that for any relationship or marriage to be successful, the couple has to be great friends. It is also important to keep reinventing your friendship. Besides being my wife, Adhuna is a great friend and I know I can share my deepest secrets with her.”
