Rumors are swirling about the state of Hansika Motwani's marriage to Sohael Kathuriya, just over two years after their widely celebrated wedding in December 2022. The actress, known for her roles in both Bollywood and South Indian films, and her husband, a Mumbai-based businessman, are reportedly facing marital difficulties, fueling speculation among fans and media outlets.
The initial reports suggesting trouble in paradise surfaced in mid-July 2025, with claims that Hansika and Sohael are currently living separately. According to a report by the Hindustan Times, Hansika has moved back in with her mother, while Sohael is residing with his parents. This change in living arrangements, especially so soon after their lavish wedding, has raised eyebrows and led to increased scrutiny of their relationship.
Adding fuel to the fire, the couple, who were once active on social media, sharing glimpses of their life together, have noticeably refrained from posting any recent pictures together. This lack of social media interaction has further intensified the rumors and fueled concerns about a potential separation.
Following their wedding, Hansika and Sohael initially resided with Sohael's extended family. However, sources suggest that adjusting to the dynamics of a large joint family proved challenging for the couple. In an attempt to find a more comfortable living situation, they reportedly moved into a separate apartment within the same building as Sohael's parents. Despite this change, it seems that interpersonal issues persisted, continuing to strain their relationship.
Sohael Khaturiya has addressed the separation rumors, offering a brief statement to the Hindustan Times, saying, "It's not true". However, his response has been viewed as vague, as he did not clarify whether he was denying the reports of them living separately or dismissing the broader speculation of a potential split. This ambiguity has only added to the uncertainty surrounding their current relationship status, leaving fans and the media to interpret the situation. Hansika, meanwhile, has remained silent on the matter.
Adding another layer to the narrative, Sohael's previous marriage to Rinky Bajaj, who was reportedly a close friend of Hansika, had previously drawn criticism when Hansika and Sohael announced their relationship. Hansika addressed this controversy in her reality series, "Love Shaadi Drama," stating that she was unfairly blamed for the dissolution of Sohael's previous marriage and that celebrities often face undue public scrutiny. She clarified that Sohael had always been a part of her inner circle, being not only her business partner but also her brother's best friend. Over time, their friendship evolved into a romantic relationship.
Despite the rumors and speculation, the couple has neither confirmed nor denied the separation in detail. For now, fans and observers are left awaiting further clarity on the future of Hansika Motwani and Sohael Kathuriya's marriage.
