Zara Zara Behekta Hai, Mehekta Hai, Aaj To Mera Tan Badan, Main Pyaasi Hoon, Mujhe Bhar Le Apni Baahon Mein… In 2001, a young angry Maddy (R. Madhavan) and a bholi bhali Reena (Dia Mirza) had taken our hearts and changed our perception of love forever. The Zara Zara song from Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein had redefined love for every 90s kid and every time it plays somewhere, feels are felt! Romance came in the life of Dia Mirza too, but unfortunately, it didn’t have a happy ending. (Also Read: Dia Mirza And Sahil Sangha Part Ways Due His Affair With This 'Judgementall Hai Kya' Writer?)
With the relationship of a husband and wife, and co-owner of the production company, Born Free Entertainment, Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha announced the separation on August 1, 2019. Ending their ‘11 years of being together’, as soon as Dia and Sahil had announced their separation, media was flooded with the series of reasons that could have possibly be behind their split. Amidst the speculations of Sahil’s extra-marital affair with Judgementall Hai Kya writer, Kanika Dhillon being the major reason behind his separation with Dia, the trio has come out on social media to clarify the same.
Sahil Sangha clarified the conjectures regarding his extra-marital affair with Kanika Dhillon and the third person being the reason behind his split with Dia Mirza. He wrote on Instagram, “There is absolutely no truth to the story linking us to respected colleagues of our fraternity. It is a distasteful lie. We would appreciate a strong measure of restraint and a basic level of decency before such callous assumptions are made about the personal lives of people. Thank you.”
Dia Mirza too, clarified the same on her Instagram story as well as on Twitter and lashed out at the baseless speculations. Her post could be read as, “This is to clarify and put to rest all kind of speculation that is being bandied about by a certain section of the media regarding my separation with Sahil. It is most unfortunate to see the level of irresponsibility exercised. What is even more unfortunate is that our colleagues names are being tarnished and maligned by this media. As a woman I will not stand for another woman’s name being used so irresponsibly to perpetuate a lie. There is absolutely no truth to the alleged reports and no third person is the reason for Sahil and I to part ways. We have requested the media to be graceful and allow us this time for some privacy. Really hope they can respect that.”
Kanika Dhillon has also slammed the "laughable, despicable and irresponsible" rumours that blamed her for Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha's split. Kanika tweeted, “Laughable-Despicable-Irresponsible! Fiction writing is my job!Can tabloids b a lill more responsible pls? Jst bcos 2news items come at d same time-They can’t b interlinked! It’s not a potpourri! Hav NEVER met Diya/ Sahil in my ENTIRE life! Pls get over it n let us get back 2work!” To which, Dia apologized and replied, “I am so sorry Kanika that people can be so disgraceful. All my love to you.” (Also Read: Sushant Singh Rajput And Rhea Chakraborty Make For One Lovely Pair At Their Another 'Couple' Outing)

We remain friends and will continue to be there for each other with love and respect. While our journeys may lead us down different paths, we are forever grateful for the bond that we share with each other. We thank our family and our friends for all their love and understanding and members of the media for their continued support and request everyone to respect our need for privacy at this time. We will not be commenting any further on this matter. Thank you, Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha.”
Dia Mirza had captioned her post as, “This is to clarify and put to rest all kind of speculation that is being bandied about by a certain section of the media regarding my separation with Sahil. It is most unfortunate to see the level of irresponsibility exercised. What is even more unfortunate is that our colleagues' names are being tarnished and maligned by this media.

Post their wedding on October 18, 2014, when Sahil Sangha was asked, “What is the best thing about his wife?” in an interview, he had then retorted, “To explain what I love the most about her is very simple, she is pure. She is very giving and and gives it with all heart. She lights up a room as soon as she walks in, she is such a beautiful soul. I’m blessed to have an understanding partner like her.” Speaking about her marriage and the beautiful relationship she shares with husband Sahil, Dia had remarked, “I am very happy. Ours was a simple Arya Samaj wedding ceremony. The vows were clearly explained to us. It was wonderful because it was good to be conscious of what you are going through, and what are the vows that you are exchanging. It was a dream wedding, in the best possible way.” (Also Read: Urvashi Dholakia And Anuj Sachdeva's Ego Clash On 'Nach Baliye 9', After Vishal Singh-Madhurima Tuli)
