Farhan Akhtar & wife Adhuna announce separation after 15 years of marriage

While rumours of an alleged split between Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have been doing the rounds this week, another celebrity couple have also decided to part ways. Farhan Akhtar and wife Adhuna have today announced their separation.

According to DNA India, Farhan and Adhuna are parting ways after a 15-year marriage. It is not clear why the couple will be splitting up. A statement by the couple says, “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.”

Family members have said that their separation is a result of “growing apart”.

The couple dated for a number of years before tying the knot in 2000. They met for the first time on the sets of Farhan’s directorial debut ‘Dil Chahta Hai’. Adhuna also debuted in the film as a hair stylist.

With a troubled start for two of Bollywood couples in 2016, lets just hope the rest of the year brings some reason to celebrate.
