Dia Mirza broke her silence after announcing her separation from husband Sahil Sangha on Thursday, 1 August. The actress took to social media to put to rest rumours that writer Kanika Dhillon was responsible for the couple’s separation.
She expressed her disappointment at the media’s irresponsibility and wrote, “As a woman I will not stand for another woman’s name being used so irresponsibly to perpetuate a lie.”
1) This is to clarify and put to rest all kind of speculation that is being bandied about by a certain section of the media regarding my separation with Sahil. It is most unfortunate to see the level of irresponsibility exercised.

2) What is even more unfortunate is that our colleagues names are being tarnished and maligned by this media. As a woman I will not stand for another woman’s name being used so irresponsibly to perpetuate a lie.

3)There is absolutely no truth to the alleged reports and no third person is the reason for Sahil and I to part ways. We have requested the media to be graceful and allow us this time for some privacy. Really hope they can respect that.

“There is absolutely no truth to the alleged reports and no third person is the reason for Sahil and I to part ways. We have requested the media to be graceful and allow us this time for some privacy. Really hope they can respect that,” she reiterated.
On the same day as Mirza and Sangha’s announcement, Dhillon and her husband Prakash Kovelamudi also revealed that they had parted ways two years ago in 2017 before their film Judgementall Hai Kya (2019) began filming.
Dhillon responded to the rumours with bewilderment and stated that she had never met Mirza and Sangha before.
