the actor Hansika Motwani and businessman Sohael Khaturiya have officially ended their marriage after the Bandra Family Court granted them a divorce on March 11, ending their four-year relationship. The development has continued to attract public attention, prompting reactions from people associated with the family. Amid the ongoing debate over the divorce, Hansika’s sister-in-law Nancy James has asked people not to get involved in the case. Nancy, who is currently separated from Hansika’s brother Prashant Motwani, said she has been inundated with calls, messages and social media tags asking her to comment on the divorce.Speaking to Hindustan Times, Nancy said that the situation had become overwhelming and she preferred to stay away from the controversy.
“After Hansika’s divorce I started getting a lot of calls and messages to comment on the development. I also started getting a lot of DMs and tags on social media and people started saying this is karma for Hansika. I got bored. Honestly, I don’t want to involve myself in anyone’s life. My divorce is going on. And I am getting calls and messages. I was fed up, so I wrote the message on Stories,” she said.Nancy’s relationship with the Motwani family has been strained for a long time. In December 2024, he filed an FIR against Hansika and the actor’s mother Jyoti Motwani under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including Section 498A (dowry-related cruelty), Section 323 (willfully causing hurt) and Section 352 (intentional insult and insult).In her complaint, Nancy alleged domestic violence and said the stress caused her to develop Bell’s palsy. She has also accused her in-laws of demanding expensive gifts and money, and that the interference of Hansika and her mother created problems in her marriage to Prashant Motwani. Nancy also said she was pressured to sell her apartment.In February last year, Hansika and Jyoti got anticipatory bail from the Mumbai Sessions Court. Two months later, in April, they approached the Bombay High Court seeking quashing of the FIR. In her petition, Hansika stated that she was surprised to find her name included in the complaint.Reflecting on her legal battle, Nancy said, “I have been harassed and tortured by this family and I don’t want to associate with them anymore. That’s why I’m filing for divorce and filing a DV case against my husband’s sister and mother. I hope my divorce puts an end to the ordeal. I’m still suffering and on a journey of healing.”Nancy also made it clear that she doesn’t want to comment any more on Hansika’s divorce or the speculation that is going around the web.“I have full faith in the judiciary and the legal system of our country. Justice will prevail and I will speak at length once the case reaches its logical conclusion. But right now, I don’t want to be dragged into his case or his karma or whatever,” he said before ending the interview.Meanwhile, Hansika Motwani and Sohael Khaturiya’s divorce was formally confirmed earlier this month by the actor’s lawyer, Adnan Shaikh, who shared the update with NDTV.
