Aligarh writer Apurva Asrani announces separation from partner Siddhant; says, ‘It is very difficult time’

On Saturday, Apurva Asrani announced separation from his partner Siddhant after being together for 14 years. The National Award-winning editor and screenwriter urged everyone to respect their privacy and also said that there is always hope for anyone seeking love, commitment and secure home.

Sharing the heartbreaking news, Apurva took to his Instagram handle and penned a lengthy note. Announcing his separation from Siddhant, Apurva wrote, “I inform you with a heavy heart that Siddhant and I have separated. I know we have been seen as role models by many in the LGBTQ community, and this is sure to evoke some disappointments, but I must tell you that every day of these 14 years has been important and valuable and that we have amicably parted ways.  Same-sex couples in India have no references and no role models to seek inspiration from, and we have made mistakes in the way that we have charted our unique path. But we are also the first generation in India to live our love so visibly and courageously, so I write this with no regrets.”

Further requesting everyone to respect their privacy, the screenwriter-editor added, “I request you to respect our privacy ad our feelings at this point and to leave the speculation to us. Please don’t tag us in your messages, it is a very difficult time.”

Apurva ended his message on a hopeful note, “I want to end by saying that I think there is hope. For Sid, for me, and for every one of us seeking love commitment and a secure home. Never stop believing.”
