The Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor and his wife have been in news for their marital problems in recent years. However, before June 1, neither of the parties had openly addressed the issue.  In an interview from May in fact, actor Karan Mehra had claimed that his wife took great care of him through his COVID infection.

Previous reports have also stated that the couple was unable to spend quality time together as Rawal had to stay in Mumbai to take care of their son while Mehra stayed in Punjab for his upcoming projects.

However, following Karan Mehra's arrest and subsequent release on June 1, the actor and his wife have both given individual statements to the press, presenting their side of the story, while denying the allegations made by the other party.
