After five years into marriage, Sahil Sangha and his actor-producer wife Dia Mirza announced their separation on Thursday. The couple tied a knot on October 18, 2014, in a lavish ceremony in Delhi, after dating each other for six years. Their lavish wedding was attended by Rajkumar Hirani, Mahesh Bhupati, Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan, Cyrus Sahukar, and Sophie Choudry. Dia Mirza posted on her social media:
“After 11 years of sharing our lives and being together, we have mutually decided to separate.
We remain friends and continue to be there for each other with love and respect. While our journey may lead us down different paths, we are forever grateful for the bond that we share with each other.
We thank our family and our friends for all their love and understanding and members of the media for their continued support and request everyone to respect our need for privacy at this time.
We will not be commenting on this matter any further.
Thank you”
