"Over our time apart, we have become perhaps greater friends than we have ever been before," singer Vishal Dadlani said in his statement

Another famous couple bites the dust and has joined the long list of separated celebrities. Yes, you read that right!

Music composer and singer, Vishal Dadlani and his wife Priyali Kapur have filed for divorce and have in fact, been staying separately for quite sometime now.

The singer released a statement to an entertainment portal announcing the news. In his release he mentioned about the separation and the fact that the couple have come to become great friends.

He also asked the fans and the media to keep this matter guarded and allow them privacy.

He stated, "After several years of living separately, Priyali and I are officially filing for divorce. This is the only statement either of us wishes to make, as this is a private and personal matter, and we hope it will be respected as such."

About their ties as friends Dadlani mentioned, "Over our time apart, we have become perhaps greater friends than we have ever been before. Both our families are extremely close, to us and to each other, and of course, this will remain so. Our private lives have always been extremely personal to us, so we humbly ask for dignity and privacy in this regard. Thank you."

Celebrity couples who separated

Well, it seems that the couple have taken a decision to amicably dissolve marital ties, whilst maintaining their friendship and that if their family's intact. This is not the first celebrity couple to amicably file for divorce.

In fact, Vishal Dadlani and wife Priyali join a long list of celebrities who recently separated, including Hrithik Roshan and Sussane Khan, Adhuna Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar; and Kalki Koechlin and Anurag Kashyap.

All these couples separated after many years as man and wife, however, they also chose the amicable route, which is exactly what a separated couple must do, especially if there are kids involved.

We spoke to psychologist Anuja Kapur on the subject and she shares that no matter the status, a divorce wrecks a child's life.

3 ways to counsel kids after a divorce

"The revolution in sexual relationships is wrecking children's lives as well as those of adults. It can greatly affect child development and emotional health. Children don't just sail through parental conflict, separation, divorce, and remarriage. There are lasting consequences. Children are affected by single parenting and step-parenting turn out to be no substitute for a missing father or mother. Children feel that living in an unhappy marriage may be far better for them than separation or divorce," says Kapur.

However, she adds that there are ways to help children recover from this emotional mess.

Kapur says, "There may be no tougher task in the world than to help your children cope with your divorce and a subsequent remarriage." She lists the following ways separated parents can do the job:

  • Be honest with them: Telling your kids the truth about what’s going on is paramount. Tell them why the marriage failed, but do it without badmouthing your former spouse .Admit to your own mistakes and faults that contributed to the failure of the marriage – kids see these things clearly anyway! Reassure them that it was in no way their fault. Tell them you love them unconditionally and you’re committed to help them through the difficult road that lies ahead.
  • Protect your kids from negativity: Being honest with your kids does not require that you expose them to all the violence of emotion involved. Keep the negativity as private as possible.
  • Your kids are not your spies: Adults have to learn to talk. If you have something to tell your former spouse, don’t ask your kids to tell them for you; tell them yourself.
