Content creator-turned-actress Kusha Kapila announced her separation from husband Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia on Monday, saying that it was mutually decided by the influencer couple to part ways.

“What we seek currently for ourselves doesn’t align,” Kusha wrote on Instagram in a three-slide note, which was also shared by Zorawar.

“Zorawar and I have mutually decided to part ways. This hasn’t been an easy decision by any measure but we know it’s the right one at this point in our lives. The love and life we have shared together continues to mean everything for us, but sadly, what we seek currently for ourselves doesn’t align. We gave it our all, until we couldn’t anymore,” Kusha’s note read.

The couple got married in 2017 after dating each other for several years.

Kusha further wrote about the tough decision and how it was heartbreaking for the relationship to end. “A relationship ending is heartbreaking and it’s been a tough ordeal for us and our families. Thankfully, we have had some time to process this, but what we shared and built together panned for over a decade. We still need a lot more time and healing to get to the next phase of our lives. Our current focus is to get through this period with love, respect and support towards each other,” she further wrote.

The last slide talked about their decision to co-parent their pet dog Maya. “We will continue to co-parent the love of our lives, Maya. And continue to be each other's cheerleaders and pillars of support,” the note ended.

While the announcement came as a shock to many, numerous gossip threads on Reddit had been talking about the separation for quite some time. The Selfiee actress is also shifting to Mumbai to start her full-time career as an actress whereas Zorawar is likely to stay in New Delhi.

Kusha started off as a content creator and shifted gears towards hosting and then acting in 2019. The 33-year-old has played cameos in multiple shows and films including Ghost Stories, Masaba Masaba 2, Selfiee and Plan A Plan B.
