There were rumours doing the rounds that singer Sunidhi Chauhan and music director Hitesh Sonik’s marriage has hit a rough patch. The two have been married for eight years and have a two-year-old son, Tegh. The buzz was that Sunidhi and Hitesh have been living separately since a few days and have managed to keep the news of their separation under wraps.

When Bombay Times reached out to Sunidhi, she took a “No comments” stand. Meanwhile, her husband, Hitesh, rubbished the reports, and said, “It’s not true.” However, when we told him that his wife had neither confirmed nor denied the rumours, he said, “Maybe she doesn’t want to comment on it because she finds the news too outrageous to even think about it.”

Hitesh further clarified that the duo is living together in the same house. “We are living under the same roof. I am too busy cleaning the house to even read the news. We have divided the household chores in this lockdown period. Well, maybe she isn’t happy with my cleaning, which is why such a story has surfaced (laughs!).”
