Raj, Shhyamali’s Marriage Unclear
Raj was previously married to Shhyamali De, though it remains unclear whether the two are still together, as neither has issued an official statement. However, according to a report by Pinkvilla, the couple reportedly got divorced in 2022.
In fact, since 2022, Shhyamali has not shared any photos with Raj on her Instagram handle. Her last post featuring him was from their wedding anniversary that same year, further fuelling speculation about their relationship status.
