Actor Hansika Motwani, who first became a household name as a child artist and later built a successful career in South Indian cinema, has officially ended her marriage with businessman Sohael Khaturiya. The couple has been granted a divorce by the Bandra Family Court in Mumbai, bringing their three-year marriage to a formal close.
The news comes after months of speculation about trouble in their relationship. Rumours about the couple living separately had surfaced last year, and their quiet social media changes had only intensified curiosity among fans.
From Fairytale Proposal to Grand Jaipur Wedding
Hansika Motwani and Sohael Khaturiya’s relationship once looked like a fairytale romance. After years of friendship, Sohael proposed to the actor in November 2022 during a romantic moment in Paris near the Eiffel Tower.
Just weeks later, the couple tied the knot in December 2022 in a lavish destination wedding at the historic Mundota Fort and Palace in Jaipur. The multi-day celebration drew major attention online, and the entire wedding journey was later showcased in the reality series Hansika’s Love Shaadi Drama.
At the time, the wedding was widely discussed in the media not only for its grand scale but also because Sohael had previously been married to Rinky Bajaj, who was reportedly a close friend of Hansika.
Trouble in the Marriage Emerged in 2025
While the couple initially kept their personal life relatively private, speculation about problems in their relationship began circulating in 2025.
Fans first noticed subtle hints when Hansika quietly removed several wedding photographs from her Instagram account. Soon after, reports suggested that the couple had started living separately.
According to sources cited at the time, Hansika had moved back in with her mother, while Sohael was staying with his parents. The couple had initially lived with Sohael’s family after their wedding before later shifting to a separate apartment in the same building.
Insiders claimed that adjusting to the dynamics of a larger family setup had been challenging, and issues reportedly continued even after they moved into their own space.
Divorce Granted by Mutual Consent
The divorce was finalized by the Bandra Family Court, with both Hansika Motwani and Sohael Khaturiya agreeing to part ways through mutual consent.
Speaking to NDTV, Hansika’s lawyer Adnan Shaikh confirmed the development, stating that the marriage had reached a point where reconciliation was no longer possible. According to the legal statement, both parties acknowledged that the relationship had irretrievably broken down.
The lawyer also clarified that Hansika chose not to seek alimony or financial maintenance as part of the separation. Instead, her priority was to bring a dignified and peaceful end to the marriage.
With the legal process now complete, Hansika is expected to focus on her personal life and professional commitments moving forward.
