Amruta Khanvilkar Warns of Legal Action Over Separation Claims
Amruta Khanvilkar is an actress from India, and Himanshu Malhotra is an actor too.
They first met on a reality show in 2004 and got married in Delhi in January 2015.
Some news reports said the couple has been living in different homes for about one and a half years.
Amruta says those reports are not true and hurt her reputation.
Her lawyers put out a message on her Instagram calling the stories 'baseless and defamatory.'
She warned websites and people to stop spreading unverified information about her personal life.
Her legal team says they are watching and collecting these posts, and may take legal action where there is evidence.
The reports also said the couple are not getting divorced and still care about each other.
They even won a dancing reality show together called Nach Baliye 7.
Amruta wants people to respect her privacy.
Amruta Khanvilkar's legal team issued a statement on August 10, 2026, calling reports about her personal life 'baseless and defamatory.'
The warning came after reports claimed she and husband Himanshu Malhotra have been living separately for around 18 months.
Reports said the couple have not filed for divorce or legal separation and continue to share a good relationship as close friends.
The legal notice cautioned media organisations, digital platforms and individuals against spreading unverified information, with instances being monitored for possible legal recourse.
Amruta and Himanshu met in 2004 on India's Best Cinestars Ki Khoj and married in January 2015 in Delhi.
