Here's shocking news that the well known actor Anup Soni has reportedly separated from his wife Ritu.

A close friend of Anup said that the pair had been fighting on small issues. The problem intensified to a point where they decided to break up, legally.

Anup's another friend said, "I'm shocked to hear this news. Anup is counted among the highly respected men of our industry. There are ups and down in every relationship, but I never expected Anup and Ritu to go their separate ways."

Soni reportedly said that neither he nor his wife wishes to comment on it.

Media persons tried getting a word from the actor but he didn't reply to their text message either.

Ritu is a management graduate from Symbiosis, Pune and runs a software company. Both were doing well in their respective professional lives.

The two had been married for six years and have two daughters.

Soni can currently be seen in the Colors show 'Balika Vadhu'. (With Inputs from Agencies)
