Gautami announces separation from Kamal Haasan

November 01, 2016 15:04

In one of the most high profile splits in Tamil cinema, actress Gautami Tadimalla on Tueday, announced she was separating from veteran star Kamal Haasan, terming it as "one of the most devastating decisions that I have ever had to make in my life."

"It is heartbreaking for me to have to say today that I and Mr Haasan are no longer together. After almost 13 years together, it has been one of the most devastating decisions that I have ever had to make in my life," she wrote in a blog whose link she later posted on her Twitter page.

Gautami, who starred opposite Haasan in films like Aboorva Sagotharargal, Thevar Magan and the recent Papanasam, said it was not an easy decision for her.

A cancer survivor, the actress said, "It is never easy for anyone in a committed relationship to realise that their paths have irreversibly diverged and that the only choices in front of them are to either compromise with their dreams for life or to accept the truth of their solitude and move ahead. It has taken me a very long time, a couple of years at the very least, to accept this heartbreaking truth and come to this decision."
