MUMBAI: Punjabi singer and actor Parmish Verma has set social media abuzz after making a rare reference to his personal life, including his “ex-wife”, in a strongly worded Instagram Stories post about masculinity, hardship and standing up for oneself.
The reference has attracted particular attention because Verma has generally kept his personal affairs away from the public spotlight. His mention of an “ex-wife” has consequently led fans and followers to speculate about his marital status and whether he has quietly gone through a divorce.
However, Verma did not provide specific details about his relationship, marriage or the circumstances surrounding the reference in the post.
‘Nobody came to save me’
In his message, Verma reflected on difficult periods in his life and the experience of dealing with personal struggles without relying on others.
He wrote about having to face his own consequences, endure pain and eventually rebuild himself. For Verma, he suggested, going through hardship alone was also part of what he considers manhood.
His post appeared to be a response to broader conversations around how men are portrayed and blamed in public discussions.
Parmish speaks about his former and present relationships
One of the most closely discussed portions of the message was Verma's reference to both his former wife and the woman currently in his life.
He stressed that respecting his former wife and showing respect towards his present partner were important to him. He also drew a distinction between masculinity and resentment, arguing that bitterness should not be presented as a sign of strength.
The comments have prompted considerable curiosity among his followers, many of whom are focusing on what the reference to his “ex-wife” could mean for his personal life.
‘I would rather be hated’
Verma's message also carried a defiant tone as he criticised what he described as people joining a crowd or promoting an agenda for attention, money or approval.
He made it clear that he would rather face criticism for remaining true to himself than receive praise by simply following public opinion.
The singer concluded the post by expressing pride in the person he believes he has become after navigating difficult experiences.
Fans react to unexpected revelation
The post has generated a wave of discussion online, with fans attempting to interpret the significance of Verma's choice of words.
While some focused on his views about masculinity and personal responsibility, others were more interested in his reference to an “ex-wife”, which has become the most talked-about aspect of the message.
Verma, however, has not publicly elaborated on the matter or disclosed details about any alleged separation.
For now, his Instagram post remains the source of the speculation, with the singer choosing to speak about the experience in broad and personal terms rather than revealing the details behind it.
