Esha’s cryptic Instagram posts and Bharat’s absence from family events had previously fueled speculations about their relationship status. However, the couple’s recent statement marks the official confirmation of their decision to part ways.
Their wedding in 2012 was a simple affair at Mumbai’s ISKCON temple, followed by the arrival of their daughters in 2017 and 2019, respectively.
