Divorce rumours ‘baseless’, says Mithila

Recently, rumours of divorce between Srijit Mukherji and Rafiath Rashid Mithila have been circulating on social media. Fans started speculating about 'trouble in paradise' after sensing tension on their individual social media posts.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actress opened up about the issue.

"Rumours about our divorce are simply baseless. I can't understand how people can assume this based on just two posts on Facebook," said the actress.

It all started with two social media posts-one by Srijit and another by Mithila. Srijit posted a photo of himself and quoted Joan Baez's song "Farewell, Angelina", while Mithila penned down beautiful lines of love with pictures of herself looking melancholy in a white dress.

"Initially, I didn't notice Srijit's post but when my friends started telling me how people were talking about it. I was left completely speechless, I can't understand how easily people can come to a conclusion about our 'divorce'. We didn't write anything about it," said Mithila.

Mithila talked about how rumour mongers are simply looking for ways to defame women.

"This kind of speculative news is completely unethical. We have a daughter and she is growing up. Such news is really detrimental to our family. Earlier on, news about our divorce also started to spread when I was stuck in Dhaka during Covid-19. I know that some people just love gossiping about the personal lives of celebrities, but this has gone too far. At the end of the day, such news is published to tarnish a woman's reputation in society," added the actress.

Rafiath Rashid Mithila and Srijit Mukherji tied the knot in 2019. After marriage, Mithila lives in both India and Bangladesh with her daughter, Ayra.
