Apurva Asrani, the editor and senior screenwriter, took to Instagram to announce his 14-year relationship with Siddhant.
Apurva Asrani declared the end of a 14-year relationship with partner Siddhant on Instagram. A few hours after confirming the split, the writer-editor shared a cryptic message about loyalty and how it's either black and white, not grey. Apurva and Siddhant were one of the first LGBTQ couples in Bollywood to come out openly, and they had been together for nearly a decade and a half.
Apurva wrote in a two-part post explaining his reasons for ending the relationship, "I inform you with a heavy heart that Siddhant and I have separated. I know we were seen as role models by many in the LGBTQ community, and this is bound to disappoint some, however, I must tell you that every day of these 14 years has been important and valuable, and we have parted ways amicably.”
