Singer and TV host Akhila Pajimannu opens up about mutual divorce, Says family stood by her

Kannada singer and television personality Akhila Pajimannu has finally addressed the buzz around her personal life, opening up about her mutual divorce and the strong support she received from her family during the difficult phase.

Akhila, who rose to popularity through singing reality shows and later married US-based software engineer Dhananjay Sharma in 2022, recently ended her marriage by mutual consent. While the news of her separation triggered speculation on social media, the singer clarified that the decision was not sudden and had nothing to do with rumours or external opportunities linked to her professional life.

Speaking candidly, Akhila shared that the couple made sincere efforts to save their relationship for nearly one-and-a-half years before deciding to part ways. “This was not an impulsive decision. We tried our best to make things work, but it wasn’t possible. We chose peace of mind for both of us,” she said.

She also expressed disappointment over how people quickly connected her divorce to unrelated events in her career. “There is no connection between my personal decision and my professional opportunities. People assumed many things without knowing the truth,” Akhila added, urging everyone to respect personal boundaries.

Highlighting the emotional toll of the separation, the singer said that only those involved truly understand the pain behind such decisions. However, she credited her family for standing firmly by her side and helping her navigate the emotionally challenging period. Their support, she said, gave her the strength to move forward with dignity.

Akhila’s statement has resonated with many of her fans, who appreciated her honesty and courage in addressing a sensitive topic publicly. The singer continues to focus on her career while prioritising her mental well-being, sending out a strong message about choosing self-respect and peace over unhealthy situations.
