As the internet continues to buzz with speculation regarding Mouni Roy and Suraj Nambiar’s reported separation, an old interview of the Dubai-based businessman has resurfaced, shedding new light on the couple’s early dynamics.
In the wake of reports claiming the pair has been living separately for six months, fans have revisited a candid chat where Suraj admitted he was initially hesitant about dating a celebrity and was fundamentally “against the idea of getting married” for a long time.
Suraj had previously revealed that seeing Mouni surrounded by paparazzi and fans in Mumbai was a culture shock. Having met her primarily in Dubai and abroad, he wasn’t prepared for the public scrutiny that came with her stardom.
“Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I wanted everything that came with it,” he had confessed, adding that it was Mouni who eventually gave him an ultimatum after years of dating: marry her or end the relationship. Suraj noted that he “kept buying time” until he realized his life would be better with her, leading to their lavish 2022 Goa wedding.
New Allegations: Living Separately and Legal Consultations
The narrative has shifted dramatically from “peaceful” married life to legal proceedings. According to recent reports by journalist Vickey Lalwani, while a formal divorce petition may not have been filed yet, Mouni has reportedly been consulting lawyers to initiate the process. The reports further suggest that the couple may undergo a mandatory counseling session soon—a standard procedure in matrimonial disputes—to see if a reconciliation is possible between the estranged husband and wife.
The divorce rumors were ignited earlier this week when the duo unfollowed each other on Instagram and purged their wedding photos from their profiles. Since then, more serious allegations have surfaced via ABP News’ Saas Bahu Aur Saazish, claiming that the rift was caused by Suraj allegedly “cheating” on Mouni to gain fame and using her financial resources during their marriage.
Mouni’s Plea for Privacy vs. Suraj’s Digital Silence
On May 13, 2026, Mouni Roy broke her silence on Instagram stories, neither confirming nor denying the split but urging media houses to stop spreading “false narratives.” She made a pointed request for “space and privacy” during what appears to be a tumultuous time. Conversely, Suraj Nambiar has chosen total digital silence, deactivating his Instagram account entirely following the wave of cheating allegations.
The couple, who were once the toast of social media for their globe-trotting lifestyle, now find their “fairytale” under the microscope. As Mouni continues to stay in Mumbai, the focus remains on whether the legal consultations will lead to a permanent end to their four-year journey.
