The year 2024 (so far) has seen several high-profile separations in the entertainment industry. From Bollywood stars to television personalities, many relationships that were once the talk of the town have come to an end. Here’s a look at some of the most notable celebrity splits of 2024 so far.
1. Isha Koppikar and Timmy Narang
Actress Isha Koppikar and businessman Timmy Narang announced their separation early in 2024, ending their marriage of over a decade. The couple, who tied the knot in 2009, continues to co-parent their daughter, Rianna, and has expressed a desire to maintain an amicable relationship for her sake. While they have not publicly disclosed the reasons for their split, sources close to the couple cited irreconcilable differences as the primary cause.
Timmy told TOI in an interview, “After contemplating divorce for almost a year and a half, we proceeded to file for it. The divorce was granted in November last year and it was on amicable terms. Both of us are now free to move on with our lives, which is a fact.”
2. Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani
Bollywood actress Esha Deol and businessman Bharat Takhtani’s separation came as a shock to many. The couple had tied the knot in a low-key wedding ceremony at the ISKCON temple in Mumbai on June 29, 2012. They have two daughters, Radhya and Miraya.
Esha and Bharat announced their split via a joint statement in which they emphasised their commitment to co-parenting their children amicably. They also requested privacy during this challenging time. Despite the end of their marriage, both Esha and Bharat have expressed mutual respect and a focus on their children’s well-being.
3. Dalljiet Kaur and Nikhil Patel
Television actress Dalljiet Kaur and her husband Nikhil Patel also decided to part ways in 2024. Dalljiet, who is known for her roles in popular TV shows, had married Nikhil, a Kenya-based businessman, in a private ceremony. The ex-couple went through a highly-publicised split, with both parties levelling a series of severe allegations against each other.
Dalljiet publicly accused Nikhil of engaging in an extramarital affair, while the latter claimed that the actress decided to leave Kenya with her son Jaydon and return to India, which ultimately led to their separation. “We both realised that the foundation of our blended family wasn’t as strong as we had hoped,” he had said in an interview.
4. Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora
One of the most talked-about splits of 2024 was that of Bollywood actors Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora. The couple, who had been in a relationship for several years, was often in the limelight for their public displays of affection and glamorous appearances.
However, in May, rumours began doing the rounds that their relationship had hit a rough patch. Speculation further intensified when Malaika skipped Arjun’s birthday celebration. While both have maintained a dignified silence on the rumours, their recent cryptic posts and Malaika’s absence from Arjun’s birthday bash have seemingly confirmed their breakup.
5. Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic
Cricketer Hardik Pandya and actress-model Natasa Stankovic also ended their relationship in 2024. The two, who got engaged on January 1, 2020, and later married, have a son named Agastya.
Their split was announced via social media, where they emphasised their commitment to co-parenting their son. The former couple had previously sparked divorce rumours when Natasa removed Hardik’s surname from her Instagram.
