Singer Himesh Reshammiya and wife Komal have finally got divorced, ending their 22-year-old marriage. The Bombay Court granted them divorce on Tuesday evening, following which Komal said Himesh's rumoured girlfriend Sonia Kapoor is not responsible for it.
Himesh and Komal had filed for divorce in 2016. The high court has now granted them divorce, and the wife said they got separated due to lack of compatibility. On the other side, Himesh said the decision was mutual, and they will still be part of each other's families.
"Sometimes in life mutual respect becomes most important and giving due respect to our relationship. Me and Komal have amicably decided to part ways legally as husband and wife and there is no problem whatsoever with this decision amongst us and our family as every member of the family have respected our decision and yet Komal is and will always remain a part of our family and I will always be a part of her family," the singer said in a statement.
Speaking on the same line, Komal said, "I and Himesh completely respect each other and are jointly going with this decision to part ways legally but mutual respect will always be there between us as I am a part of his family and will always be, and the same is with him towards my family. There are compatibility issues in our marriage but we respect each other immensely".
While it was reported that Himesh and TV actress Sonia are dating each other, and are planning to get married, Komal said she is not linked with the divorce anyway.
"Nobody else should be dragged into this matter and nobody else is responsible for this and the reason for our marriage not working is only and only compatibility. Sonia is not responsible for this at all and our son Swaym and our family loves Sonia just like a family member," Komal added. There is a buzz that Komal will continue to live in the same building where Himesh stays.
