In an official statement to fans and media, Masaba shocked everyone when she posted a note on her Instagram profile, sharing the news to the world. The emotional note that Masaba wrote depicted the hardship that she and Madhu are going through right now. Beginning with the news itself, the statement could be read as, “Both of us have taken this decision after consulting professionals and our parents. The only thing we are ready to say right now is, 'what we both want out of life individually and separately is putting unnecessary pressure on the marriage and the love that we share. Hence we would take time off from each other and our marriage to figure out for ourselves what we want out of this life’”.
The note also said that the time is tough for the couple and they would really like to protect their privacy at this point in time. However, the good part is that Masaba and Madhu "still hope to find reconciliation." The note continued, “We are not strong enough to explain ourselves to even friends who deserve an answer from us.... All we can say to them is to give us time and to give us love when we reach out to you. We now need a lot of it”.

And concluded with, “While we know, given the world and the lives we live in will lead to speculation, rumours and dragging us down into the dirt at this time. We are communicating and encouraging each other to be brave and reminding ourselves the only priority at this time is the well-being and protection of our own selves and our families. Madhu & Masaba”.
