When Love Falls Apart: 5 Celebrity Couples Who Shocked India With Their Split in 2026

Breakups hurt — even more when they involve your favourite stars. From a 25-year marriage to a fairy-tale wedding that barely lasted three years, 2026 has been a heartbreaking year for celebrity relationships. Here’s a quick look at the couples who called it quits and left fans stunned.

5 Celebrity Couples

1. Thalapathy Vijay & Sangeetha Sornalingam

The most talked-about split of the year. Actor-turned–Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay is in the middle of a divorce case with his wife Sangeeta Sornalingam, who filed a petition for separation in early 2026 after more than 25 years of marriage. The development has sparked widespread discussion, given Vijay’s massive fan following. Despite the buzz, both have maintained silence, choosing not to publicly address the reports. The case is still unfolding in court, making it one of the most high-profile matrimonial disputes in Indian entertainment history. News24MovieTalkies

2. Mouni Roy & Suraj Nambiar

This one hit fans like a bolt from the blue. The duo first met on New Year’s Eve in 2019 at a nightclub in Dubai, and after dating for three years, tied the knot in a grand ceremony on January 27, 2022, in Goa — a beautiful blend of Malayali and Bengali rituals. On May 14, 2026, the couple confirmed their separation through a joint statement, emphasising the decision was mutual and requesting privacy. Mouni has since removed several photos with Suraj from her Instagram. A truly sad end to what looked like a dream romance. PINKVILLA + 2

3. Hansika Motwani & Sohael Kathuria

Hansika Motwani and businessman Sohael Khaturiya officially ended their marriage — the Bandra Family Court in Mumbai granted the divorce by mutual consent after the couple acknowledged their relationship had broken down beyond repair. They had reportedly been living apart since July 2024, and Hansika chose not to seek any alimony or financial settlement. A quiet, dignified exit from what had been a very public love story.

4. Jay Bhanushali & Mahhi Vij

One of television’s most beloved couples shocked everyone when Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij announced their separation and divorce in January 2026, ending a 14-year-long relationship. Known for their strong public bond, the couple surprised fans with their decision but have remained respectful in public statements, focusing on their responsibilities as parents. After over a decade together, this one stung the most for their loyal fanbase.

5. Evelyn Sharma & Tushaan Bhindi

Actor Evelyn Sharma confirmed her divorce from Australian husband and dental surgeon Tushaan Bhindi after five years of marriage — the couple had wed in 2021 in a low-key ceremony in Brisbane. The couple chose to focus on co-parenting their two children, highlighting a mature and amicable approach — calling it a new chapter built on lifelong friendship. A graceful split, handled with rare class. News24MovieTalkies

Why Do Celebrity Marriages Struggle?

According to Wikipedia’s overview of divorce, common reasons behind marital breakdown include incompatibility, long-distance pressures, financial stress, and lack of communication — pressures that are amplified tenfold in the spotlight of fame. Celebrities often face added strain from media scrutiny, busy schedules, and public expectations that most couples never have to deal with.
