After weeks of speculation, Niharika Konidela on Wednesday announced her divorce from Chaitanya. Her statement read, "Chaitanya and I have decided to mutually part ways and ask for kindness and sensitivity as we move on. Thank you to my family and friends who have been pillars of support. I request some privacy for us to navigate this new normal in private. Thank you for understanding." She has turned off the comments on the post. Rumours about their separation first surfaced when Niharika attended brother Varun Tej's engagement without Chaitanya.
The duo tied the knot in 2020 in a grand ceremony in Udaipur. However, for the past few months, rumours about their troubled marriage have been doing the rounds. Niharika and Chaitanya have also unfollowed each other on Instagram. As per Sakshi.com, Chaitanya had filed for the divorce first. Named as the Petitioner in the alleged documents, he reportedly filed for divorce less than a month ago at the Kukatpally Family Court in Hyderabad.

Following this, Niharika shared a cute picture from her wedding ceremony and wrote "I promise not to miss any opportunity to make you laugh just like this. (Even if it means I have to hit you) there’s no going back now. Hi chay."
