We were engaged for 7-8 months and then got married, which was a court marriage. We lived together for eight months, and then it was just not good. We were then separated for four years. We got divorced recently in 2021. He pretended as though I didn't even exist."
Mandana, who even continued and said, "In these four years of separation, he slept with whoever I knew." When Azma asked her if her ex-husband Gaurav even slept with her friends, the 'Bhaag Johnny' actress said that she doesn't have any friends. The former even questioned Karimi why did it take four years for the divorce to get finalised and the latter answered her that its part of her secret which nobody knows and she would reveal later in the show.
