Bollywood playback singer Kanika Kapoor has officially announced her separation from businessman Gautam Hathiramani, marking the end of their four-year marriage. The ‘Baby Doll’ hitmaker took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share a heartfelt statement, confirming that the couple has decided to part ways after much deliberation. While the singer remains tight-lipped about the specific circumstances behind the split, she expressed gratitude for their time together and extended well wishes to her former partner for his future endeavours.
In her public message, Kanika reached out to her friends, family, and followers, requesting space and sensitivity as they navigate this transition. “Dear friends and family, After much thought and consideration, my husband and I are going our separate ways. I am grateful for the time we shared and wish him well for the future. I sincerely ask for kindness and respect for our privacy as we move forward,” the singer wrote. The news has come as a surprise to many, as the couple had been close friends for several years before taking their relationship to the next level.
Kanika and Gautam tied the knot on May 20, 2022, in a picturesque and intimate wedding ceremony held in London. Prior to this marriage, the singer was married to Raj Chandok, with whom she shares three children—Aayana, Samara, and Yuvraj. That union ended in 2012. Known for chart-topping tracks like ‘Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan’, Kanika continues to be a prominent voice in the industry, though she has currently stepped away from the spotlight to focus on her personal life following this announcement.
