He also tweeted, “Once that is decided we would formalise it. But I do condemn encroachment in our private life.”
Meanwhile, Rai had alleged that her computer had been hacked.
She tweeted, “I have separated from my husband and we have filed a mutual consent divorce papers. After which I have decided to marry with Digvijaya Singh”.
Meanwhile, social media circles are abuzz with ‘digs’ at Digvijaya. Here are a few examples:
@SirJadeja: That awkward moment when you realise even Digvijay Singh has a girlfriend but you don't.
@suhelseth: What diet are the Congress old fogeys on? Diggy, ND TIWARI and so on? They should be on India's Old have Talent!, and, 'Karan JOHAR announces: Diggiwale Dulhaniya Le Gaye Hain'.
@lindsaypereira: Must give credit to #DigVijaySingh and Amrita Rai for admitting to a relationship. Others refuse to acknowledge their wives for decades.
