Rati, Anil ‘are fine now’
He said, “I don’t know why people keep saying that my parents have been separated. I need to set the record straight. My parents are not separated. They had marital issues back in 2015-2016, so they were briefly separated during that period, but ever since then, we have mended the fence, and they are fine now. “
Tanuj says they live together, go for holidays
“We live in the same home, go on holiday together, and have meals together. When you have been married for such a long period of time, ups and downs happen, so they hit a rough patch then, and here we are. At a certain point, especially because I’m the only child, it’s important for me to be their friend and help them get back together, and well, I think I succeeded. All’s well that ends well,” he added.
