On the current season of Bigg Boss Kannada, anchor and actor Jhanvi has made a courageous decision to open up about her divorce after 12 years of marriage. Until now, Jhanvi had avoided discussing the exact reasons behind her separation, but during a conversation with fellow contestant Mallamma, she shared parts of her personal story.
Jhanvi revealed that her marriage did not end lightly, as deeper issues had led to the breakdown of the relationship. She emphasized that the sanctity of marriage must be preserved, and that the roles of husband and wife are not interchangeable. According to Jhanvi, when her partner's role was "assumed by someone else," the foundation of their relationship collapsed. Alcoholism was also cited as one of the contributing factors that strained the marriage.
Jhanvi further disclosed that before her divorce was legally finalized, she had begun receiving career opportunities, including film offers. At that time, she felt both partners needed to make joint decisions regarding finances, career paths, and relocations -- something she believed was missing in her marriage. Ultimately, Jhanvi accepted that separation was inevitable after nearly two years of trying to make the relationship work.
Speaking about her personal life now, Jhanvi clarified that she has no plans to remarry. Her former husband, Karthik, has since remarried and has a child. Jhanvi said she is content being single, focusing on raising her son and rebuilding her life. Her openness has been widely noted as a courageous move, breaking the silence around divorce and marital struggles in public conversations.
