Punjabi Actress Mandy Takhar and Husband Shekhar Kaushal Granted Mutual Divorce

New Delhi, january 16, 2026: In a development that has surprised many in the Pollywood industry, renowned Punjabi actress Mandy Takhar and her husband, Shekhar Kaushal, have officially moved to end their marriage. On Friday, January 16, 2026, the Saket Family Court in Delhi granted the first motion of their mutual divorce petition, signaling the formal conclusion of their nearly two-year union.

An Amicable Separation

According to legal reports, the couple filed for divorce on the grounds of “personal differences” and irreconcilable incompatibilities. The proceedings were conducted with a focus on privacy and dignity, with both parties opting for a mutual consent divorce rather than a contested battle.

The actress was represented by celebrity advocate Ishaan Mukherjee, who confirmed that the court had recorded the statements of both parties and accepted their joint plea. While the first motion has been successfully cleared, Mukherjee emphasized that the specific terms of the settlement and financial arrangements remain strictly confidential.

A Look Back at the Relationship

Mandy Takhar, a British-born Indian actress, tied the knot with Shekhar Kaushal—a gym trainer and fitness CEO—on February 13, 2024. Their wedding was a grand affair that celebrated both their cultures, featuring traditional Hindu and Sikh (Anand Karaj) rituals.

However, reports suggest that the couple began living separately within a year of their marriage. Speculation regarding their split intensified in late 2025 when fans noticed that both Mandy and Shekhar had scrubbed their Instagram profiles of wedding photos and joint posts.

“It is given that certain personal differences led to the divorce. Both parties have agreed to separate amicably,” stated advocate Ishaan Mukherjee.
