Popular television couple Amruta Khanvilkar and Himanshu Malhotra have been living in separate homes for the past one and a half years. The news has surprised many fans who have followed their journey since they won Nach Baliye 7 together. While the couple is staying apart, they have made it clear that they have not filed for divorce or started any legal separation process.
Reports about their living situation started making rounds recently. According to a report in The Times of India, the couple decided to live separately due to practical reasons rather than problems in their marriage. The decision was influenced by financial matters, different career goals, and responsibilities towards their own families.
When the publication reached out to the actors for a comment, they gave a joint statement. Amruta Khanvilkar and Himanshu Malhotra said, “We are still married. Beyond that, we do not wish to comment on our personal lives.” This response came after weeks of speculation about their relationship status.
Why the Couple Decided to Live Apart
Sources close to the actors shared that the decision to live separately was not because of any fight or breakup. A source told The Times of India, “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 explained that the couple faced a combination of personal and professional challenges. Financial considerations, different career priorities, and family duties led them to believe that living in separate homes was more practical. The source added, “Given these circumstances, they felt it was more practical to move into separate homes for the time being. As things stand, they are taking time to figure out what works best for them.”
This is not the first time the couple has faced rumours about their marriage. Over the years, people have speculated about their relationship because they rarely post pictures together on social media. However, both have always dismissed such talk.
Amruta and Himanshu’s Response to Divorce Rumours
Amruta Khanvilkar and Himanshu Malhotra chose to keep their response short and clear. When asked about the separation reports, they said, “We are still married. Beyond that, we do not wish to comment on our personal lives.” This statement put an end to many rumours that suggested the couple was heading for a divorce.
Earlier this year, Amruta had already responded to people questioning why Himanshu was not at her housewarming ceremony. She wrote on social media, “Is husband everything? Aren’t my parents and sister also my family?” This showed that she did not appreciate people making assumptions about her marriage based on small things.
Himanshu also spoke about a previous incident where Amruta had blocked him on social media. He clarified that it happened years ago and was not a sign of any major problem in their relationship.
Their Love Story That Began in 2004
Amruta Khanvilkar and Himanshu Malhotra first met in 2004 on the sets of the reality show India’s Best Cinestars Ki Khoj. What started as a friendship slowly turned into love. The couple dated for many years before finally getting married in January 2015 in a private ceremony in Delhi.
Later that same year, they took part in the dance reality show Nach Baliye 7 and won the competition. Their chemistry on the show made them one of the most loved celebrity couples on television. Fans adored their partnership both on and off the screen.
Over the years, the couple has been regarded as one of television’s most admired pairs. Their journey from meeting on a reality show to winning a dance competition together has been followed closely by their fans.
What They Have Been Working On
Amruta Khanvilkar has built a strong career in Marathi cinema. She has starred in films like Arjun, Saade Maade Teen, Aayna Ka Bayna, and Baji. She has also appeared in Hindi movies such as Phoonk, Himmatwala, and Raazi. More recently, she was seen in the Netflix show Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web and the film Tu Yaa Main.
Himanshu Malhotra is a familiar face on Indian television. He has worked on shows like Bhagonwali – Baante Apni Taqdeer, Love Marriage Ya Arranged Marriage, and Chikoo Ki Mummy Durr Kei. He has also appeared in films such as Wajah Tum Ho, Shershaah, and Kesari Veer. Both actors have kept busy with their work while managing their personal lives separately.
The couple has chosen not to work together on acting projects. Himanshu had earlier explained that they preferred to keep their personal and professional lives separate.
