Hansika Motwani removes wedding pictures from social media, fans speculate if she is heading towards divorce
It looks like there is trouble in paradise, as actor Hansika Motwani deleted all the pictures of her wedding from her Instagram page. Hansika worked as a child actor in the 2003 film Koi Mil Gaya, starring Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, and Rekha. The film ultimately gave birth to the Krrish franchise, and Hansika moved on to booking lead roles in Telugu and Tamil films. Her work in the South include films such as Desamuduru (2007), Kantri (2008) and Maska (2009), Mappillai (2011) and Engeyum Kadhal (2011). She got married to entrepreneur Sohael Khaturiya in 2022, in a destination wedding at the Mundota Fort and Palace near Jaipur. But the marriage seems to have hit some kind of a wall, as the actor recently deleted all the images of her wedding from her Instagram page. The wedding and the couple's entire relationship were very well documented and even presented to the fans in the form of a limited series that streamed on JioHotstar titled Hansika's Love Shaadi Drama. Without any prior context, the actor suddenly took down all the pictures from her wedding and has reportedly also moved to her mother's house. Fans on the internet are wondering about the reasons behind this sudden move and whether this means that Hansika and Sohael's marriage is over.

In the limited series that told the story about their relationship, fans discovered that Sohael had been previously married to Rinky Bajaj, someone who seemed rather close to Hansika as well. The actor had even attended their wedding and was trolled by a lot of fans for allegedly 'stealing her friend's husband.' In the same series, Hansika addressed these claims and said, 'Just because I knew the person at that time doesn't mean it was my fault. I have nothing to do with this. Because I am a public figure, it was very easy for people to point at me and make me the villain. This was a price I pay for being a celebrity.' Sohael, who is a proprietor at the textile company Avante Texworld, had been inactive on Instagram since 2023 and has now made his profile private. The absence of social media, deleted pictures, and rumours of living separately all point towards the fact that Hansika and Sohael's marriage is definitely going through something, but nothing has been confirmed by either of the parties yet.

Hansika Motwani: Rumours Of Separation Swirl After Fairytale OTT Wedding
1/6 Indian cinema is no stranger to actresses who transition swiftly from child artists to leading ladies, often before they've fully matured. One such case is that of Hansika Motwani, whose personal and professional life continues to attract public scrutiny. Hansika, who first caught attention as a child star in Hrithik Roshan's sci-fi drama Koi... Mil Gaya (2003), quickly re-emerged as a lead actress. Her striking transformation raised eyebrows when, at the age of just 15, she starred opposite Allu Arjun in Desamuduru (2007). One of the most controversial claims surrounding her rise was an allegation that her mother administered hormone injections to accelerate her development, a claim that has never been officially confirmed but continues to circulate. In December 2022, Hansika married businessman Sohail Khaturia in a grand ceremony in Jaipur. The lavish wedding and its planning were showcased in an OTT series titled Hansika's Love Shaadi Drama. Even before the ceremony, the relationship was surrounded by controversy. Sohail had previously been married to Rinki Bajaj, one of Hansika's close friends. Two years into their marriage, speculation has grown over the state of Hansika and Sohail's relationship. Reports now claim the couple is living apart, Hansika with her mother, and Sohail with his parents. A source told Hindustan Times that they initially lived together with Sohail's family but moved into a separate flat in the same building due to difficulties adjusting to a large household. However, tensions allegedly continued. When approached for comment, Hansika did not respond. Sohail, however, denied the claims via a text message, stating simply: "That's not true". It remains uncertain whether he was denying their separation or addressing another element of the speculation.
