For a while now, the grapevine has been rampant with rumours saying that Pooja Bhatt's marriage with actor-businessman Munish Makhija was over.
When a source tipped us off saying that the couple, who had married in August 2003, had definitely decided to part ways, we texted the actress-filmmaker. Within minutes of receiving our text, Pooja put up her reply on a micro-blogging site.
"To all those who care and especially those that don't my husband Munna and me have decided to part ways after 11 glorious years of marriage. Our split as some might call it is amicable and we hold each other in the highest esteem for now and forever. The reason I explain is because we are both part of the public domain. Our friends, well-wishers and foes are free now to speculate.''
Her father filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, once again a man known for his candour replied to our text saying, "She lives by what I taught her " Hang it on the trees. This game of hide and seek is silly. If they try to pull out some skeleton from your closet, invite them to have a closer look at our family 'graveyard'. Whatever has a beginning has an end. Whatever is born dies. And whatever is dead also dies."
Pooja explained that the reason why she chose to put her comment on the micro-blogging site is because she felt the need to communicate with her fans directly.
"Please feel free to use my quote from the site,'' she replied to our message.

TV actress Daljeet Kaur has called it quits with husband Shaleen Bhanot after five years of marriage. The couple was the winner of the fourth season of dance reality show, Nach Baliye. Apparently, Daljeet took Shaleen to the cops on November 30 after he allegedly assaulted her.
She has moved out of their house along with their one-year-old son.
Said a friend of the couple, "Shaleen is a very short-tempered guy and there have been incidences of physical abuse. In the past too, after a few months of their son's delivery, Daljeet, along with the toddler, had moved out of his home and stayed with her parents in Bengaluru. However, the two reconciled and she returned to Mumbai. But things reached a head this time around and she registered a police complaint against him."
When asked about legal separation, the friend added, "She is in a state of shock and hasn't decided on it, but legal proceedings will follow soon." While Shaleen didn't revert to our text message, Daljeet refused to comment on the news.
