Rumors are swirling around the marriage of Bollywood singer Monali Thakur and Switzerland-based restaurateur Maik Richter, with speculation of a potential divorce intensifying after Thakur unfollowed Richter on Instagram. The couple, who have been known for keeping their personal lives private, tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in Mumbai in 2017.

Neither Monali nor Maik have officially addressed the rumors or released any statement regarding their relationship status. However, the "Sawaar Loon" singer recently shared a cryptic message on her Instagram story, hinting at "The Reason" behind an undisclosed personal life issue, leading many to believe it's connected to the divorce rumors. Some reports suggest the cryptic message hinted at domestic violence. It remains unclear whether the message directly alludes to the divorce speculation.

Adding fuel to the fire, Monali has reportedly deleted her wedding photos from Instagram. Maik Richter, on the other hand, has made his Instagram account private. These social media actions have been interpreted by some as a "red flag," suggesting a possible separation.

Sources close to the couple suggest that their long-distance marriage has faced challenges over the years. According to a source cited by the Hindustan Times, "A lot has changed in these years between them; no one talks about them as a couple anymore. Long-distance marriages usually do face such endings".

Monali and Maik had kept their marriage a secret for three years before publicly acknowledging it in 2020. Monali revealed that Maik proposed to her at the same spot where they first met on a Christmas Eve in 2016. She also shared anecdotes about how they had to overcome challenges, such as Maik arriving in India without a visa for their marriage registration.

While fans and media outlets await an official statement from the couple, the cryptic messages and social media activity continue to fuel speculation about the status of their marriage.
