5 Influencers Who Separated From Their Partners Recently

In a country like India where divorce continues to remain a stigma, famous personalities deciding to part ways after realising that staying together isn't going to work anymore is not a westernised culture but a move that encourages many people who are imprisoned in an unhappy or toxic marriage to walk out in fear of society, their family reputation, or their children.

There’s nothing to be ashamed of about getting divorced, and it’s high time society normalised couples choosing to part ways rather than living together and hindering each other’s personal development. With social media influencer and actor Kusha Kapila announcing separation from husband Zorowar Ahluwalia, here’s a look at five social media influencers who parted ways in the recent past.
