Singer Kanika Kapoor has announced that she and her husband, Gautam Hathiramani, are parting ways after four years of marriage. She shared the news on Instagram on November 3, 2026, but did not confirm whether they have filed for divorce.
Kapoor’s message read: “Dear friends and family, after much thought and consideration, my husband and I are going our separate ways. I am grateful for the time we shared and wish him well for the future. I sincerely ask for kindness and respect for our privacy as we move forward. Love, Kanika.”
A second marriage ends
Kapoor, best known for chartbusters such as Baby Doll and Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan, married NRI businessman Hathiramani on May 20, 2022, in London, in the presence of close friends and family. She had earlier spoken about finding love again as a mother of three, after a decade of loneliness following her first divorce.
She has also removed photographs with Hathiramani from her social media accounts. The singer has not publicly disclosed why she and Hathiramani decided to part ways at this stage.
No third person involved
In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Kapoor addressed speculation about what led to the separation. She denied reports that the marriage had ended because she did not want to move to Lagos, where Hathiramani is based due to his business commitments. She also clarified that there was no third person involved in their decision to part ways.
“I have not found anybody else, and to the best of my knowledge, neither has Gautam,” she told the publication. “For me, this is my second time for a divorce and that brings its own grief and disappointment.” Kapoor was previously married to businessman Raj Chandok in 1999, with whom she shares three children, and the couple divorced in 2012 after 13 years of marriage.
