The rumors of a split first ignited on Tuesday, May 12, when eagle-eyed fans noticed a series of digital "red flags" that suggested trouble in paradise for the couple, who married in a lavish Goa wedding in January 2022.
Mouni’s Response: "No False Narratives"
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Mouni issued a brief but firm statement to address the unverified chatter:
The Plea: "Humbly requesting all the media houses to not publish false narratives and give us space and privacy. Please," she wrote, accompanied by a folded hands emoji.
The Stance: While Mouni did not explicitly confirm or deny a separation, her request for "privacy" and her dismissal of "false narratives" suggest that the public discussion has become overwhelming for the couple.
The "Digital Trail" of Trouble
The rumors gained momentum due to several high-profile changes to the couple's social media presence:
The Unfollow: Netizens noticed that Mouni and Suraj had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Deleted Memories: Suraj reportedly deleted or archived almost all pictures of Mouni from his profile, including their widely-shared wedding photos.
Account Deactivation: In a move that added fuel to the fire, Suraj deactivated his Instagram account entirely on Wednesday morning after being flooded with questions from fans [2.1.2].
The Disha Factor: Adding another layer to the mystery, Mouni’s best friend Disha Patani has reportedly also unfollowed Suraj, which many fans interpreted as a "taking sides" moment in a potential rift.
Mouni Roy & Suraj Nambiar: Timeline of Events
Date Event / Development Jan 27, 2022 Tied the knot in Goa (Bengali & Malayali rituals). Jan 2026 Last major public appearance together at Nupur Sanon's wedding. May 12, 2026 Unfollowed each other; Suraj deletes couple photos. May 13, 2026 Suraj deactivates Instagram; Mouni requests privacy. Late May 2026 Mouni is scheduled to attend the Cannes Film Festival.
Airport Tension Re-Examined
Following the rumors, an old video of the couple returning from Udaipur earlier this year has resurfaced. In the clip, Mouni appears visibly annoyed and chooses not to walk beside Suraj, even telling photographers to focus on Disha Patani instead. While ignored at the time, "body language experts" on social media are now using the video as retroactive proof of a "long-standing fissure" in the marriage.
SantaBanta Verdict:
Mouni Roy has always been fiercely protective of her personal life—keeping her relationship with Suraj entirely hidden until the day of their wedding. Her plea for "privacy" is consistent with her personality, but the total disappearance of Suraj from social media makes it difficult for fans to ignore the "smoke" around this fire. As she prepares to head to the Cannes red carpet, the spotlight on her personal life is only going to get brighter.
