Nandita Das and her husband Subodh Maskara have split after seven years of marriage. Nandita confirmed the development to DNA in an interview carried on 1 January 2017.

Nandita and Subodh have a six-year-old son, Vihaan.

"Yes, it is true. Subodh and I have decided to separate. Thankfully, it is very amicable. Our son is our foremost priority and as parents of a delightful and sensitive child we request that his and our privacy be respected. There’s nothing to hide and there’s nothing more to be said," Nandita told DNA.

Rumours that the couple were headed for a separation had been doing the rounds since mid-2016.

At the time, Subodh had dismissed the talk and said there was no divorce on the horizon for Nandita and himself.

"Nandita and I are still living together in the same house (near Haji Ali)... Which marriage doesn’t have its share of fights? When we got married, we told the media openly. And if we separate, even then, we will tell the media openly, so that you can write the real reason. And mind you, I’m saying 'if', I’m merely speculating,” Subodh told SpotBoye.

Nandita was previously married to Saumya Sen from 2002-2009. She tied the knot with Subodh in 2010. They are partners in Chotti Production Company.
