Hansika's decision of marrying Sohael stirred up controversy

The couple tied the knot December 4, 2022, in a grand ceremony in Jaipur. However, speculations about trouble in their marriage began last year after Motwani deleted her wedding pictures from Instagram.

Khaturiya was previously married to Rinky Bajaj, who is allegedly a close friend of Motwani.

Her decision of marrying Khaturiya stirred up several controversies as she faced accusations of "stealing" her friend's husband. However, she later clarified that their relationship began post-divorce. 

In the past, Motwani had also publicly confirmed her relationship with Tamil actor Silambarasan, widely known as Simbu, in 2013. The then high-profile Tamil cinema couple had also worked together in the 2014 film Vaalu. However, they broke up shortly after, in the same year.
