I was just recovering from the shock of Karan Singh Grover and Jennifer Winget’s divorce and now I hear the news of another favorite TV couple ending their relationship.

Divyanka Tripathi and Ssharad Malhotra have decided to part ways after seven years of being together. In a joint statement issued by the two to a leading daily, they announced:

The decision of calling off the relationship is mutual. We had a beautiful journey and the most lovely memories are helping us part ways cordially. Yet, it’s a painful process and speculations only increase the pain. We request the media to be considerate. This is the final word on this subject and we won’t be talking about what went wrong in our relationship. We believe it wasn’t destined to last.

From what we hear, it is Ssharad’s non-committal attitude that has led to this break-up. Apparently, Divyanka wanted to take the next step in the relationship and get married but her (now ex) beau wasn’t ready.

Whenever I saw the two of them together, it seemed that they have a fairy tale love story that will definitely lead to marriage. But then, as they say, ‘expect the unexpected’. You can imagine my grief about this news considering I had put them second on my list of real life couples we would want to see together onscreen in 2015.

How heartbroken are you by this development? Let me know in comments below!
