Amidst swirling speculations about her marriage, singer Neha Kakkar has addressed the rumors head-on after announcing a break from her professional and personal life. In a cryptic social media post on Monday, January 19, 2026, Kakkar stated she was stepping away from "responsibilities, relationships, work and everything I can think of right now," leaving fans concerned about the state of her marriage with Rohanpreet Singh.

The initial announcement, made via Instagram Stories, was quickly deleted, but not before it ignited a flurry of speculation. Kakkar also posted a request to the paparazzi and fans, asking them not to film her and to respect her privacy. The "Kala Chashma" singer, known for her vibrant personality, said she needed peace and wanted to be left alone.

Fueled by the word "relationships" in her initial statement, online discussions quickly turned to the possibility of a split between Kakkar and her husband, Rohanpreet Singh, whom she married in October 2020. However, Kakkar swiftly shut down these unfounded rumors. In a follow-up statement, she urged the public and media not to drag her husband and family into the matter, emphasizing that her decision to take a break was personal and not influenced by her family situation. She stressed the importance of prioritizing her mental health and protecting her loved ones from online speculation.

This isn't the first time Kakkar's personal life has made headlines. In 2025, a video of her breaking down in tears during a Melbourne concert went viral. The incident followed claims that she arrived three hours late, leading to some audience members booing her. Kakkar later refuted these claims, accusing the organizers of misrepresenting the events.

The recent break announcement also comes shortly after Kakkar faced criticism for her song "Candy Shop," a collaboration with her brother Tony Kakkar. The song, released in December 2025, garnered over 23 million views but was also heavily trolled for its "vulgar" lyrics and perceived imitation of K-pop aesthetics. While the exact reason for Kakkar's break remains unclear, sources suggest the constant pressure and negativity from online platforms have taken a toll on her mental health.

Kakkar's career began at a young age, singing bhajans at religious gatherings. She gained national recognition after participating in "Indian Idol" in 2005. Since then, she has become one of Bollywood's most popular playback singers, with hits like "Aankh Maarey," "Dilbar," and "Garmi". She has also served as a judge on several reality shows, including "Indian Idol".

Kakkar's plea for privacy underscores the challenges faced by celebrities in the digital age, where personal lives are often subject to intense scrutiny and speculation. By addressing the divorce rumors directly, she aims to protect her family and prioritize her well-being during this period of respite.
