'Purani Jeans' actor Tanuj Virwani shuts down rumours about his parents Rati Agnihotri and Anil Agihotri's divorce, "We live in the same.."

Actor Tanuj Virwani has quashed rumours regarding his parents' separation, Rati Agnihotri and Anil Virwani, who had tied the knot in February 1985. He said that although Rati and Anil “briefly separated” between 2015 and 2016, they have since “mended the fence,” dismissing rumours of a permanent separation.

"I don't know why people keep saying that my parents have been separated. I need to set the record straight. My parents are not separated. They had marital issues back in 2015-2016, so they were briefly separated during that period, but ever since then, we have mended the fence, and they are fine now," he clarified to NDTV.

Tanuj also added that they live together and go for vacations, "When you have been married for such a long period of time, ups and downs happen, so they hit a rough patch then, and here we are. At a certain point, especially because I'm the only child, it's important for me to be their friend and help them get back together, and well, I think I succeeded. All's well that ends well".

According to PTI, in 2015, Rati filed a complaint with Mumbai police where she accused Anil of domestic violence. Deputy police commissioner (zone-III) who was posted then, had said, "Rati Agnihotri, who married Anil Virwani in 1985, filed a complaint against him on March 14, saying he had mentally tortured her besides assaulting her physically. A case has been registered against Virwani under IPC sections 498A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 350 (use of criminal force), and 506 (criminal intimidation)."

Rati Agnihotri has appeared in numerous films, including 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye' ,'Mazdoor,' and 'Coolie' (1983), as well as 'Ulta Seedha' (1985), 'Aap Ke Saath' (1986), 'Dadagiri' (1987), 'Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi' (2001), 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum' (2002), 'Hum Tum' (2004), 'Socha Na Tha' (2005), and 'Singh is Bling' (2015), among others.

Tanuj Virwani made his Bollywood debut with 'Luv U Soniyo' (2013), followed by roles in 'Purani Jeans,' 'One Night Stand,' and 'Yodha.' He has also been part of several web series, including 'Inside Edge,' 'Poison,' 'Code M,' 'Illegal - Justice,' 'Out of Order,' 'The Tattoo Murders,' and 'Cartel.' His upcoming project is the series 'Murshid,' which will premiere on August 30 on OTT. The show also features Kay Kay Menon, Zakir Hussain, and Rajesh Shringarpure, among others.
