Legendary actress Mumtaz has broken silence on rumours of trouble in the marriage of her daughter Natasha Madhvani with actor Fardeen Khan. The two tied the knot in December 2005, and have over the years maintained a low profile in terms of their married life due to personal challenges around becoming parents. Ever since 2023, reports have been doing the rounds that the couple has been living separately, and were planning divorce. Mumtaz, during a recent interview cleared air about separation speculations around her daughter and son-in-law. Mumtaz on Fardeen-Natasha’s possible divorce Speaking to ETimes, Mumtaz opened up about the possible divorce. She said, “They are saying they are separating but they aren鈥檛 still divorced. I love Fardeen a lot. He was born in front of me. They are still husband and wife.” “Nothing serious has happened. Maybe they don鈥檛 get along anymore. Every marriage has ups and downs. They are too old; they won鈥檛 listen to me. Sometimes people don鈥檛 get along with each other. Arguments hote hai. Natasha and Fardeen should not divorce, as they have kids. And I have seen Fardeen is a good father. He shifts his shooting days according to their schedule. He respects me to date. I don鈥檛 know what they want to do. Even if they divorce, they won鈥檛 be separated due to their kids,” the 77-year-old added.

Speculations claim Natasha had a tough time post the demise of Fardeen’s father and legendary actor Firoz Khan in 2009. She even had miscarriage of twins through IVF in 2011. Though the couple welcomes daughter Diani Isabella (2013), and son Azarius (2017), it took an emotional toll on their marriage. Fardeen and Natasha haven’t confirmed any trouble in their paradise or issued a public statement on the same as yet. However, some reports claim the two do not live together. While Fardeen is in Mumbai with his mother, Natasha stays with her children in London. Fardeen made his acting comeback with Khel Khel Mein in 2024, and was last seen in Housefull 5.
