She noted that social media often shows only a small glimpse of a person’s life, while the full reality remains unknown to outsiders. Kanika added that it is easy for people to comment on relationships without knowing what individuals are actually going through behind closed doors. One of the main reasons behind the divorce rumors was the fact that Kanika and Ankur have been living separately for work-related reasons.

Addressing this issue, the actress explained that Ankur resides in Delhi because of his business commitments, while she lives in Mumbai to pursue her acting career and attend shooting schedules. Kanika clarified that their decision to live in different cities is purely professional and should not be interpreted as a sign of marital problems. She stressed that long-distance arrangements are sometimes necessary when both partners have careers that require them to be in different locations.
