Honestly, the media should respect their privacy. "Personal differences" is explanation enough. We don't need to dissect every detail of their private life. Focus on her work instead—she was great in *Mirza - The Untold Story*.

It's interesting how many UK-born Punjabis come to India to work in films. Must be a huge cultural shift. Hope she has a good support system during this time.

Mutual divorce is definitely the mature way to handle things. Saves years of court battles and mental stress. More power to both of them for taking this step.

While I wish them well, I can't help but feel a bit critical of how casually marriages seem to be treated in the film industry sometimes. It sets a certain example. That said, no one knows what happens behind closed doors.

Phagwara to Wolverhampton to Mumbai! What a journey. Her career has been quite diverse too—Punjabi, Hindi, Tamil. Wishing her strength. Onwards and upwards!
