KKN Gurugram Desk | Neil Bhatt and Aishwarya Sharma, one of Indian television’s most followed couples, have been in the limelight again—but this time not for their work. Over the past few weeks, social media and tabloids have been abuzz with reports suggesting trouble in their marital paradise. Speculation intensified when sources claimed that Aishwarya had moved into a separate residence, further fanning the flames of divorce rumors.

Now, Aishwarya Sharma has finally addressed the gossip, revealing the truth behind her living situation and the nature of her relationship with Neil Bhatt.

 Who Are Neil Bhatt and Aishwarya Sharma?

Neil and Aishwarya became household names after starring together in the hit television show Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein. Their on-screen chemistry quickly translated into real-life romance, and the couple tied the knot in November 2021 in a grand ceremony attended by friends, family, and fellow TV personalities.

Since then, the couple has been highly visible on social media, reality TV, and entertainment news platforms. Their joint appearance in Bigg Boss further cemented their popularity and gave fans a glimpse into their personal dynamic.

 The Rumors: Why People Thought They Were Separating

In early 2025, reports emerged suggesting that the couple was facing issues in their marriage. The biggest talking point? Aishwarya had allegedly rented a separate apartment in Mumbai‘s Malad area, which led many to speculate that the couple was either heading toward a divorce or living apart unofficially.

The fact that the couple hadn’t posted photos together on Instagram for several weeks added fuel to the fire.

Aishwarya Sharma Breaks Her Silence

Speaking to the Times of India in an exclusive interview, Aishwarya Sharma finally set the record straight.

“Just because Neil and I haven’t been posting pictures together doesn’t mean there’s a problem in our relationship. We simply don’t enjoy working together anymore. That doesn’t mean we’re drifting apart,” Aishwarya clarified.

She emphasized that both she and Neil are artists with different creative paths and schedules. She also mentioned that professional space often demands personal boundaries, and it is entirely normal for couples—especially those in the same industry—to choose to work and live in arrangements that support their individuality.

 Why She Moved to a Separate Apartment

Aishwarya admitted that she has rented an apartment in Malad, but not for the reasons people assume.

“Like every couple, Neil and I have disagreements. But the rumors gained traction because I took a separate place in Malad. The reason is purely professional. I needed a quiet space for work-related activities which isn’t always possible in a full household.”

She further elaborated that the decision was mutual and practical, not emotional.

“People need to understand that sometimes you need professional isolation without emotional separation,” she added.

This straightforward explanation has relieved many fans who were concerned about their relationship status.

“We Are Still Very Much Together”

Despite choosing to live apart temporarily for professional reasons, Aishwarya confirmed that the love between her and Neil remains intact.

“We still support each other like we always have. We may not work together on the same project, but that doesn’t mean we’re not a team.”

By clarifying the distinction between professional independence and personal separation, Aishwarya put an end to the rumors, at least for now.

Social Media’s Role in Fueling the Gossip

One major factor contributing to the speculation was the couple’s recent inactivity on social media as a duo. In a world where followers often equate online visibility with relationship health, even minor gaps in posts are scrutinized intensely.

Experts suggest that the constant pressure to appear happy online can be mentally exhausting for public figures, especially when they are going through normal life changes.

 Industry Reaction and Fan Support

After Aishwarya’s interview, several TV actors and influencers came forward in support of the couple.

Actress and close friend Rekha Sinha tweeted:

“Not everything needs to be public to be real. Respect their privacy.”

Fans flooded social media with messages of support, sharing how the couple’s transparency and maturity inspired them.

 Psychological Take: Space Isn’t Separation

Modern relationships, particularly among professionals, are evolving. Psychologists suggest that having separate living or working spaces doesn’t necessarily equate to emotional distancing.

Dr. Renu Kapoor, a family therapist, explains:

“In creative professions, especially where both partners are public figures, it’s not uncommon to carve out personal space to maintain mental balance. This helps nurture—not destroy—the relationship.”

Addressing Misconceptions: They Are Not Heading for Divorce

To set the record straight:

• ✅ They are not separated.

• ✅ They are not filing for divorce.

• ✅ Aishwarya’s separate residence is for work purposes only.

• ✅ Their marriage is intact and healthy.

 What’s Next for Neil and Aishwarya?

Both actors continue to work on individual projects. Neil is currently shooting for a political drama set to release later this year, while Aishwarya is working on a web series focused on women in law enforcement.

The couple has chosen to keep their relationship low-key for the time being, focusing more on work than public appearances.

In an industry where personal lives are often turned into public narratives, Neil Bhatt and Aishwarya Sharma have shown immense maturity. By confronting rumors with clarity and poise, they have not only protected their bond but also set an example for how celebrity relationships can navigate turbulence with grace.
