London, March 16: Elizabeth Hurley’s mother-in-law has rubbished rumours that her Indian tycoon son Arun Nayar and Brit daughter-in-law were heading for splitsville.

It was recently reported that the couple’s two-year-old marriage was on the rocks, after Nayar allegedly complained of his model wife not spending much time with him due to her professional commitments.

His mother Gunnar Nayar, however, insists that it was all a cooked up story.

"This is just gossip. That''s all I can say. I don''t like commenting on family matters in public," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

The pair, who began dating in 2002, tied the knot in 2007 in two ceremonies—one in India and the other in Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire.

The ceremonies, photos of which reportedly sold for a staggering two million pounds, were attended by Sir Elton John, Donatella Versace, Valentino, Leonard and Evelyn Lauder, among other celebrities. (ANI)
