Popular TV couple Avinash Sachdev and Shalmalee Desai, who fell in love on the sets of Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon are having marital problems two years down the line. According to Spotboye.com, rumours are rife that the two are planning to separate and this is reportedly because of Avinash’s philandering.

A source close to the couple reveals that Shalmalee is not very happy with Avinash as she doubts his loyalty towards her. Their arguments have also escalated to a point where it looks like things will only go downhill for them.

As per another report on India.com, Avinash was also accused of domestic violence. But in a statement to Indian Wiki Media, the actor denied these allegations –

All that is being written and talked about is just for TRP. It is absolutely untrue. Yes, we are having certain issues in marriage. And we are trying our best to sort things out. Having said this, we are the best of friends even today. And yes, I am not a wife-beater. Well, it is life, and problems in relationships do creep up at times. We are having basic compatibility issues and whatever it is, it is mutual. But problems are not such that we are just ending it today. We are in a position today where we are trying our best to sort it out. We stay together and have no grudges or hatred in our relationship.

Even Shalmalee has spoken in support of her husband despite their problems –

I am shocked with whatever I heard. All that is being claimed is rubbish. We are having issues and we are trying to level things. The people who are involved in this are me, Avi, his parents and my parents. This is our personal problem and we will figure a way for it which will be the best for both of us. There is absolutely no bad blood between me and Avi. The poor guy has never ever raised his finger at me, leave alone beating me. He is one of the sweetest and gentlest people you will ever find. There is nothing of that sort. There is no complaint that I have lodged. My parents will in fact vouch for what a good guy Avi is. Whatever is there is within the family and we will try and sort it out.

Hope they solve their issues soon!
