Celebrity divorces and breakups in 2025: This year was dominated by box-office triumphs and record-breaking franchises. However, 2025 was also marked by a wave of painful breakups and divorces across the Indian entertainment industry. From Bollywood and South cinema to television and digital creators, several long-standing relationships came to an emotional end, turning the year into one of the most turbulent in recent memory.
Here’s a look at the major celebrity separations that defined 2025.
One of the first and most talked-about splits of the year was the separation of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and influencer Dhanashree Verma. Months of speculation were finally put to rest when their divorce was confirmed. Dhanashree later shared that she intended to focus on her career and personal growth.
A dramatic last-minute breakup stunned fans when Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana ended her relationship with musician Palash Muchhal just hours before their wedding ceremony. After weeks of silence, both confirmed they’d decided to part ways and prioritise their individual journeys.
One of Bollywood’s most stylish and closely followed couples, Tamannaah and Vijay, also went their separate ways. Rumours of infidelity circulated widely, though neither addressed the allegations publicly. Their split remained one of the most sensational stories of the year.
Celina Jaitly filed for divorce from husband Peter Haag, accusing him of domestic abuse, mental harassment and attempting to seize her property. The case, currently in court, has drawn significant attention due to the seriousness of the allegations.
South actress Meera Vasudevan confirmed in November that her marriage to Vipin Puthiyankam had ended. Describing the decision as emotionally challenging, she asked fans for sensitivity as she moved forward.
After twelve years of marriage that began with a school romance, composer-actor G.V. Prakash and singer Saindhavi filed for divorce by mutual consent in March. Their split marked the end of one of Tamil cinema’s most admired partnerships.
Television star Shubhangi Atre was granted a divorce from husband Piyush Poorey in February after reconciliation attempts failed. Tragically, Piyush passed away only months later.
After months of speculation, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai duo formally announced their divorce in June, ending a long-standing marriage that was often highlighted as an example of industry stability.
Ending nine years of marriage, TV actors Mugdha Chaphekar and Ravish Desai finalised their divorce this year. Their separation came as a shock to fans who had always viewed them as one of the industry’s most drama-free couples.
