Amid the ongoing rumors, both Taneja and Rathee have acknowledged difficulties in their relationship. However, they urged fans to respect their privacy, addressing the situation in separate Instagram posts. Following the viral video, Taneja posted a cryptic message on Instagram, writing, “Joi Joi pyaaro kare, soi mohe bhave”—translated as, “Those who love me, I love in return.” In his post, Taneja stated, “I will remain quiet for my kids and the mother of my child. Ready to live with all the negativity and hate for my entire life. Please don’t expect any public explanation.”
Taneja also appealed to his followers to avoid jumping to conclusions, adding, “Men are made villains very fast. We don’t cry, we talk less, and express less. Some of us are hardwired like that.”
Rathee, addressing the divorce rumors in a candid Instagram video, admitted to being the woman in the viral clip but denied being wronged by her husband. She praised Taneja for empowering her during their eight-year marriage, saying, “The same man during these eight years made me equally capable that I can nurture my children alone. How many men in India have made their wives equally capable?”
Acknowledging the strain on their relationship, Rathee said, “Something must have happened. It hurt him this time, and it hurt me too. He thought he was right, and I thought I was right. He became stubborn, and so did I.” Despite the challenges, she defended her husband’s character, stating, “There are very few people who deserve respect. I know that man inside out… I have seen him go through every situation.”
Though both Taneja and Rathee have openly shared glimpses of their emotional journey, they continue to urge fans and the media to respect their personal space as they navigate through this challenging time.
