7 Bollywood Couples Who Happily Separated After A Decade Long Relationship

“Everything needs to have a happy ending” – this definitely cannot be considered as a rule when it comes to marriages and relationships. And there’s no law that says that marriages need to last for a lifetime. There are thousands of married couples out there who chose to part ways for their individual happiness even before their marriages reached the silver glory. And our Bollywood, the tinsel town of entertainment, isn’t any different in this aspect. Time and again we’ve seen our favorite actors and actresses fall in love with each other, get married, and eventually get divorced.

While we’ve been hearing about divorces in Bollywood and being taken aback by them,we’ve also been awe-struck by how some of those ex-partners who have continued to stay in touch with each other and remain friends even after their separation. Let’s have a look at some of these Bollywood couples who’ve called it quits after decades-long relationships and yet, remained friendly with their exes.

1. Malaika Arora And Arbaaz Khan

They were regarded as the most sizzling couple of B-town. The entire Bollywood industry as well as their fans were shocked to know that the couple decided to file for divorce and end their 18-year-long relationship. The reason behind the split is still not known. However, they finally got divorced last year. And this New Year, both have come out in public and confessed that it was a hard decision to make, for both of them. They even went on to say that their cordialness for each other will never change and they will always remain the loving parents to their son.

2. Suzanne Khan And Hrithik Roshan

They were known for being the cutest couple in the tinsel town. They had been married for seventeen years when they filed for divorce. The couple has two sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan. The couple has always stuck to the answer that they decided to part ways amicably whenever they were questioned about divorce. However, the cute couple is always seen going on movie dates and family vacations with their sons even after being divorced. That’s some family goals, right?

3. Adhuna Bhabani And Farhan Akhtar

Last year we saw quite a lot of separation stories, and the most shocking one was this. After 17 years of blissful married life and having two daughters Shakya and Akira, Farhan and Adhuna decided to divorce each other by mutual consent. What’s amazing is that both of them have found new loves in their lives. And a poem that Adhuna posted on her Instagram account is proof of the amazing bond that these two share even after their divorce. Rock on, you guys!

4. Sugandha Garg And Raghu Ram

We all know Raghu from the show, Roadies. His bold, unapologetic onscreen behavior is quite contradictory to his actual nature. Raghu and Sugandha were happily married for nearly 12 years before deciding to call it quits on an amicable note. However, Raghu has found new love and even got married to her, Natalie Di Luccio, an Italian-Canadian singer. What surprised us when we got to know that it was Sugandha who was first informed by Raghu himself that he’d fallen in love again. The ex-couple have been heard saying that they decided to save their friendship instead of a marriage that had run its course.

5. Reena Dutta And Aamir Khan

While we were under the impression that Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood must have had a perfect love story, but he surely didn’t have a perfect first marriage. As his marriage to Reena fell apart after 16 years of togetherness. They decided to divorce on mutual terms. However, their kids’ (Ira and Junaid) custody went to Reena. The couple still maintain a cordial relationship for the sake of their children and are seen hobnobbing with each other in family gatherings.

6. Pooja Bhatt And Manish Makhija

We all know how Pooja likes to live her life – on her own terms. So, there was no surprise when she decided to call it quits with her husband Manish after being married to him for nearly a decade. She was heard making statements about holding hands without tags and has maintained the fact that she and her ex-husband share the amazing bond of best friends. The Bhatt lady clearly knows what she is capable of handling in her life. The ex-couple do not have any children together.

7. Diya Mirza

The beautiful Diya Mirza and filmmaker Sahil Sangha tied the knot back in 2014. However, they made a mutual decision to call it quits in August, later this year. Following which they shared the message to the world through their official Twitter handles. “We thank our family and our friends for all their love and understanding and members of the media for their continued support and request everyone to respect our need for privacy at this time. We will not be commenting any further on this matter,” Diya and Sahil conveyed.

We totally believe that certain love stories and even marriages for that fact, begin only to end. These relationships give us the best memories to cherish for the rest of our lives. They teach us the most important lessons of life. And most importantly, they leaves us stronger after they end. To all the couples out there who’ve called it quits, we hope these Bollywood ex-couples have inspired you.
