<p>This is to announce that we, Adhuna and Farhan, have mutually and amicably decided to separate. Our children remain our priority and it is immensely important to us, as responsible parents, that they be protected from unwarranted speculation and public glare. We sincerely request that we are given the privacy that is required at this time to move forward in a dignified manner.</p>

They had met during the making of Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Farhan Akhtar’s directorial debut. The film also marked Adhuna’s debut in the film industry as a hairstylist.
