For her family, this was a private and sensitive time. The day she announced her split, she had no intention of doing so.

"We got a call from a publication saying that they have found out about the separation," she went on. "It was our private moment, it was a sacred moment for us. The publication said deny the matter or we will publish the story,” she revealed.

He said ‘You don’t get scared, don’t feel pressured to do this, we will do this when you want to do this.’ I was like ‘nobody else gets to announce the news for me.’ I was so scared that I could not even write it. I also felt it was important to mention our pet dog Maya. I still freeze when I talk about that moment.”
