MUMBAI: The lives of our Bollywood stars mostly move in sync with their releases. Link ups and breakups usually surface around a film's release adding that tinge of spice and pique to the proceedings, but this one we could have done about.

Actor-singer-music composer, Himesh Reshammiya launched his latest album ‘Aap Se Mausiiquii’ in the presence of Amitabh Bachchan on 5 December 2016 and the day after, he went on to file for divorce with his partner of 22 years - Komal.

The composer has gone on record talking about his divorce with Komal. In his quote to Mid-day, he stated, “Sometimes in life, mutual respect becomes the most important, and giving due respect to our relationship, Komal and I have amicably decided to part ways... There is no problem whatsoever with this decision among us and our family as every member respects it. Yet, Komal is and will always remain a part of our family and I will always be a part of her family.”

Komal echoed Reshammiya’s sentiments as she said, “Himesh and I completely respect each other and are jointly going ahead with this decision to part ways, but mutual respect will always be there between us as I am a part of his family and will always be, and the same stands for him towards my family.”

There are speculations on Reshammiya's involvement with TV actress Sonia Kapoor in 2006 being the cause of the couple’s separation, but there is no clarity yet. The couple has gone on record to say that they will continue to co-parent their son Swayam.
