In the chat, the actress said, “When a woman goes through a divorce, there’s a lot of shame and stigma attached to that. I get a lot of comments saying, ‘second-hand,’ ‘used,’ and ‘wasted life.’ You are pushed into a corner where you feel like a failure. You feel guilt; you are supposed to feel shame that you were once married.”

According to a viral wedding invite that surfaced on the internet, the couple is set to tie the knot on December 4, 2024, with the wedding likely to take place at Annapurna Studios.
The couple, who had been rumored to be dating, made their relationship public after they got engaged in August this year. The engagement ceremony was an intimate affair attended only by close family members.
