Masaba took no time in addressing this as she didn’t want any rumours to surface about Madhu’s character. She took to Twitter and posted the screenshot of the message and replied to the journalist stating, “Going to address this because of the infidelity bit attached. Or maybe I will address more as it comes, given that I won’t tolerate a single thing about Madhu’s character. Not true.”

The official statement of Masaba read, "Both of us have taken this decision after consulting professionals and our parents. The only thing we are ready to say right now is, ‘what we both want out of life individually and separately is putting unnecessary pressure on the marriage and the love that we share'. Hence we would take time off from each other and our marriage to figure out for ourselves what we want out of this life”

We are communicating and encouraging each other to be brave and reminding ourselves the only priority at this time is the well-being and protection of our own selves and our families. Madhu and Masaba”
