Mumbai: Suraj Nambiar has dismissed rumours claiming that a ‘third party’ led to his separation from actor Mouni Roy, stating that their decision to part ways was mutual.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Suraj rejected the speculation surrounding their marriage.
While some reports mentioned extra-marital affairs involving both of them, others claimed that the couple was already divorced and had been living separately for quite some time.
“Recent baseless reports surrounding our separation have been made in bad taste and are absolutely malicious. Let me set the record straight once and for all. There is no alimony. There are no disputes. There is no third party involved. Mouni and I chose to part ways together, with mutual respect and with full consideration for each other’s wellbeing. That is the truth. Everything else being reported is fiction, and in some cases, a deliberate attempt to vilify two people who have done nothing but ask to be left alone,” Suraj wrote.
Slamming reports dragging their friends into the controversy, Suraj added, “I want to state this clearly and finally: there is no truth to any of the claims being made about either of us, or about any third party. Dragging other people into this is not cool. Specially innocent friends who have nothing to do with this. Mouni and I have both conducted ourselves with dignity through this period and we expect that same dignity to be extended to us by those reporting on it.”
He further stated that several media houses had chosen to “fabricate narratives that do not exist.”
“These reports have been published without a shred of verification, which is highly unfair. I am calling this out clearly and directly, because staying silent in the face of deliberate misinformation is not something I am willing to do. Our joint statement said everything that needed to be said. I request everyone to honour it and to allow both of us the space to move forward in peace. Thank you.”
Mouni and Suraj had tied the knot on January 27, 2022.
On May 14, Mouni officially announced her separation from Suraj, putting an end to days of speculation surrounding their troubled marriage.
In a joint statement, the duo wrote: “We note with dismay the unnecessary and intrusive attention into our personal lives by certain quarters of the media. We would like to state that we have decided to part ways and are taking the necessary time to address matters privately and amicably. Attempts have been made to sensationalize our private lives by circulation of fictitious narratives and blatant falsehoods, which do not reflect the reality of our relationship. After thoughtful reflection on evolving personal priorities, we have mutually chosen to move forward on separate paths with respect and understanding. At this point, we are focused on navigating this phase thoughtfully and privately. We will endeavour to cherish our friendship in times to come. We sincerely appreciate your understanding, respect for our privacy, and the continued support extended to us during this time.”
