For a while now, there have been rumours of an estrangement between filmmaker Vikas Bahl and his wife Richa Dubey-Bahl.

While Vikas is on a current career high with Queen, that has swept many awards, his interior designer wife Richa has been missing from most of the celebrations. The latest rumour on their marriage front is that the couple is allegedly planning to file for a divorce.

An actor friend of theirs (on condition of anonymity) confirmed the development. However, the friend refused to go on record saying it is a personal matter and the privacy of the estranged couple should be respected.

We sent Vikas a text message about this, but he remained unavailable for comment till the time of going to press.
