Amruta and Himanshu living separately
According to a report in Times of India, a source told the publication, “Yes, Amruta and Himanshu have been living separately for the past year and a half, but there has been no conversation about a legal separation or divorce. They continue to share a warm friendship and remain in regular touch, discussing both personal matters and work.”
The source further revealed that the couple decided to live apart due to financial matters, different work goals, and duties to their own families. Because of these reasons, it made the most sense for them to get separate places for now. They are currently taking some time and space to figure out what works best for them. Only time will tell if they will eventually move back in together or decide to get a legal divorce.
When the publication reached out to the two actors, they jointly said, “We are still married. Beyond that, we do not wish to comment on our personal lives.”
A relationship that began over two decades ago
It was on the sets of India’s Best Cinestars Ki Khoj in 2004 where Amruta Khanvilkar and Himanshu Malhotra first met.
