Mehr and I wish them only peace and love through these times, and support them as friends should, and we wish them and their families well, always," Arjun said in a statement here.

"It is very sad when friends close to you take a decision to separate. These are the hardest times for them and we must be sensitive towards this decision, rather than creating speculation and rumours," he said.

The couple got married in 2000 and have two children Hrehaan and Hridhaan.
