Over the past few days, social media and several media portals have been buzzing with claims that Amruta and her husband, actor Himanshu Malhotra, are heading for a divorce after allegedly living separately for an extended period.
Frustrated by these baseless claims, Amruta has taken decisive action. The actress’s legal team has issued a stern warning, threatening strict legal consequences against anyone spreading these false rumors.
Here is a complete breakdown of what Amruta’s official statement said and the real truth behind the separation rumors.
The Legal Team Issues a Stern Warning
Recently, reports surfaced claiming that Amruta Khanvilkar and Himanshu have been living apart for the last 18 months. Although the couple had clarified earlier that they remain very much married, fake news regarding an impending divorce continued to go viral across social media platforms.
To put a definitive stop to this misleading narrative, Amruta’s legal team released an official statement on August 10, 2026. The legal notice clearly states:
“It has come to our attention that certain online, social media, and digital platforms have been circulating content about Ms. Amruta Khanvilkar and her personal life that is entirely baseless, defamatory, and a blatant invasion of her privacy.”
“Freedom of Expression is Not an Excuse for Defamation”
Taking a strong stand against gossip pages and unverified media outlets, the actress’s legal team emphasized that while Freedom of Expression is respected, it does not give anyone the right to spread derogatory and misleading rumors.
The statement firmly warned, “Wherever necessary evidence is available, appropriate legal action will be initiated under applicable laws against the individuals, entities, or organizations creating, publishing, or sharing such misleading content.”
What is the Real Reason Behind Them Living Apart?
Amidst the swirling divorce rumors, close sources have confirmed that there are absolutely no plans for a legal separation or divorce between Amruta and Himanshu. According to reports, the couple’s decision to maintain separate residences was purely practical.
Financial considerations, differing career priorities, and responsibilities toward their respective families led to this arrangement. Despite living in separate houses, the two share a rock-solid friendship, immense mutual respect, and remain in constant touch with one another.
For the unversed, Amruta and Himanshu first met on the sets of the reality show India’s Best Cinestars Ki Khoj back in 2004. After dating for several years, the couple tied the knot in January 2015. Later that same year, they went on to win the coveted trophy of the popular dance reality show Nach Baliye 7.
