Rapper-Singer Yo Yo Honey Singh and Shalini Talwar have officially parted ways after 11 years of marriage and the former has reportedly paid Rs 1 crore in alimony for the divorce settlement.
Honey Singh and Shalini Talwar tied the knot in 2011.
Shalini approached Delhi’s Tis Hazari Court in 2021 and registered a domestic violence case against the singer alongside a compensation of ₹20 crores. In her complaint, she mentioned that during the marriage she has been assaulted physically and cheated on and Honey’s harassed her mentally and emotionally to an extent that she almost started identifying herself as a ‘farm animal.’
Honey refuted all allegations against him and called the charges 'malicious and false'. In a statement, Honey Singh said, ‘I am deeply pained and distressed by the false and malicious allegations levied against me and my family by my companion/wife of 20 years, Mrs. Shalini Talwar. The allegations are severely odious. I have never issued a public statement or press note in the past despite being subjected to harsh criticism for my lyrics, speculation on my health, & negative media coverage in general. However, I see no merit in maintaining a studied silence this time because some of the allegations have been directed at my family – my old parents and younger sister – who have stood by me during some very difficult and trying times and comprise my world. The allegations are cynical and defaming in nature. I have been associated with the industry for over 15 years and worked with artists and musicians across the country. Everyone is aware of my relationship with my wife, who has been an integral part of my crew for more than a decade now and always accompanied me to my shoots, events, and meetings. I strongly refute all the allegations but will not comment any further because the matter is sub-judice before the Court of Law. I have full faith in the judicial system of this country, and I am confident that the truth will be out soon.’
