“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,” Pooja tweeted.

She also explained why she chose Twitter to announce the split and wrote, :the reason I explain is because we are both part of the public domain. Our friends,well wishers & foes are free to now speculate. : )”
