Chennai – Tamil actress and fashion designer Shalini has announced her divorce in an unconventional way, sharing a symbolic photo shoot that quickly went viral on social media.
In the pictures, Shalini is seen wearing a red outfit while tearing up her wedding photograph, marking the moment as a new beginning rather than a personal setback. The bold move has sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising her courage and others criticizing her approach.
The actress used the occasion to send a message to women facing challenges in their marriages but hesitant to speak out. In her post, she emphasized that ending an unhappy marriage should not be seen as a failure but as a step toward a healthier and more positive future.
Shalini married Riyaz in 2020, and the couple share a daughter. She had previously accused her husband of both physical and emotional abuse, which eventually led to their separation.
Her decision to mark the divorce with a celebratory photo shoot is being seen as an attempt to challenge social taboos and redefine how divorce is perceived in Indian society.
