In a 2021 interview, he talked about the rumours of his divorce from his wife Shraddha and said,
I’m surprised when people ask me how life is after divorce! Who said I’m single? My wife Shraddha, who is a COVID frontline worker, and I are very much together. I’m also getting to spend quality time with my four-year-old son in the lockdown. There were issues and we did live separately for a while. While Shraddha was living with her parents, I was living with my family. We chose to do it only to take a step back, introspect and work on our relationship. Now we are back together. I had never filed for a divorce and don’t know why such rumours were making headlines. It affected my personal and professional life.”
