Actor Hansika Motwani has shared a poignant message of resilience following the legal dissolution of her marriage to businessman Sohael Khaturiya. The couple got married in a lavish ceremony in December 2022. However, the marriage was dissolved by a family court in Mumbai on March 11. Hansika Motwani broke her social media silence to write a poignant message. The actress posted a message on her Instagram stories. The message read, “Chardi Kala always.”
The phrase is a Punjabi expression that means “Eternal optimism, high spirits, and mental resilience even in the face of great adversity.” The actress may not have directly mentioned her husband’s name or the court proceedings. However, the timing of the message can be seen as a reflection of her state of mind as she steps into this new phase of her life. Hansika Motwani is 34 years old.
According to her legal representatives, the separation was carried out in a manner that was respectful and peaceful. One such decision that Hansika took during the separation was to waive all claims to alimony, maintenance and streedhan. Her lawyer, Adnan Shaikh, explained that Hansika’s primary goal in the separation was to ensure a graceful end to the relationship and focus on her professional commitments.
The court documents filed in the case indicated that while the Parisian proposal and Jaipur wedding were all picture perfect, the relationship was by no means easy. The couple lived together for a short period before realising that their differences in nature and opinions were leading to a number of arguments. Despite several attempts by friends and family to get them back together, Hansika and Sohael were separately staying since July 2024.
Sohael, who was married to entrepreneur Rinky Bajaj, has not made any public statement so far. Hansika, a former child actress who transitioned to a successful career in South Indian cinema, was last seen in the 2024 movie Guardian. As she continues on her path, her message of ‘Chardi Kala’ seems to indicate that she is focusing on her well-being and career over the media frenzy surrounding her personal life.
