Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal and his wife Mehr Jesia announced their separation officially in a joint statement after  20 years of togetherness. The statement also states that their major focus will be good upbringing of their daughters Mahikaa (16) and Myra (13).

Announcing about their parting ways, the former couple stated in a joint statement which reads:

“After a 20 year long beautiful journey filled with love and beautiful memories, we would like to share, that all journeys have different paths and we feel that it is time for us to move on to different destinations hence forth.

We have always been solid when it has come to us, we will continue to be solid for each other and our loved ones, as we embark upon a new journey.

Both of us being extremely  private people feel strange to be making this statement, but such are the circumstances of our lives. Where the truth can get distorted and lost.

We are a family, our love for each other is forever intact and we shall always be there for one another and most importantly for our children Mahikaa and Myra. We would therefore appreciate our privacy through this time. Thank all for their support. Relationships can end but love lives on.

We won’t be commenting on this any further.”

Arjun and Myra got married in 1998 and the rumours of their separation were making rounds for last couple of weeks.
