Following the announcement of his separation from actor Mouni Roy after four years of marriage, entrepreneur Suraj Nambiar has hit back at the “intrusive attention” surrounding his personal life.
ย
After weeks of speculation surrounding their relationship, Roy and Nambiar announced via a joint statement last Thursday that they were divorcing.
ย
Now, Nambiar has issued another statement to criticise the media speculation around what led to their split.
ย
“We note with dismay the unnecessary and intrusive attention to our personal lives by certain quarters of the media. We would like to state that we have decided to part ways and are taking the necessary time to address matters privately and amicably,” read the statement.

“Recent baseless reports surrounding our separation have been made in bad taste and are absolutely malicious. Let me set the record straight. There is no alimony. There are no disputes. There is no third party involved…Mouni and I made the decision with mutual respect and full consideration of each other’s well being. That is the truth. Everything else reported is fiction, and in some cases a deliberate attempt to vilify people who have done nothing but ask to be left alone,” he wrote.
ย
Nambiar said it is not good to drag other people in their split.
ย
“Mouni and I have both conducted ourselves with dignity through this period and we expect the same dignity to be extended to us by those reporting on it… I am calling this out clearly and directly, because staying silent in the face of deliberate misinformation is not something I am willing to do,” he added.
ย
The statement was re-shared by Roy.

Nambiar and Roy got married in January 2022. They met in 2019.
