Nandita and I are supposed to talk only regarding Ishaan’s education and welfare,” Puri told PTI over phone from His lawyer Jalaja Nambiar said the couple will have separate lives without divorce. “Mr Puri wanted divorce but because things started going here and there, he opted for an amicable settlement and the court granted them judicial separation under which they are a married couple legally but have their separate lives and cannot interfere in each other’s matter,” she said.

Puri, born in the northern state of Haryana, made his film debut in the 1976 film Ghashiram Kotwal. A versatile artist, Puri became a key player in India’s arthouse cinema scene in the 1980s and 1990s but achieved international fame for his roles in Hollywood films such as City of Joy, Wolf, and Charlie Wilson’s War.
