Payal Khanna, a talented interior designer is the first wife of Aditya Chopra, the popular Indian movie director, producer, and chairman of a multinational brand in the Indian Film Industry Yash Raj Films (YRF). Payal Khanna and Aditya Chopra got married in 2001 and filed a divorce in 2009.
Although this couple looked perfect together, their marriage ended in a sad divorce after 9 years of togetherness. Have a look at Payal Khanna and Aditya Chopra’s marriage, controversies, and divorce.
Payal Khanna met her future-to-be husband Aditya Chopra while studying at Bombay Scottish School. As their parents were on good terms and knew each other from the very beginning, Payal and Aditya quickly became friends.
Payal Khanna and Aditya knew each other since childhood and also were high school friends. Aditya Chopra's mother and Payal’s mother have been best of friends for many years and later on, decided to take this friendship to another level.
This decision led to the marriage of Payal and Aditya in 2001. Payal comes from a business family and she too prefers to stay away from the glamor industry.
We constantly believe that marriages are made in heaven but it seems that those were not particularly meant for Payal and Aditya. This friendship turned marriage couple failed to reconcile their marriage despite many attempts.
The former couple's Aditya and Payal relationship came to a shocking end after they filed for divorce in 2009. The reason for their dispute is considered to be Aditya’s relationship with actress Rani Mukherjee.

The couple’s divorce again made a highlight when rumors started indicating that Payal asked for a massive amount of alimony to end their marriage. Although there is no clear evidence of the amount of money Payal received post their divorce, it is believed the price Aditya paid for his freedom was more than what one can imagine. There is also a rumor that Payal received a palatial house in Juhu as part of alimony.
Payal and Aditya do not have any children together, so, as there are no children involved, despair is at a minimum. The couple did not mention the terms of the settlement in the court documents and instead opted for an out-of-court arrangement.

The quiet, soft-spoken producer prefers to keep a low profile in the media and his interviews are hard to come by. Reports claim that Aditya’s family was not too happy with his decision and they decided to take care of Payal even after the divorce. Aditya was stubborn that he would not come home until Payal moved out of the house and then resided in a 5-star hotel until then. Payal then decided to move to Singapore for some time so that Aditya would return home and work.
Aditya Chopra’s mother Pamela Chopra is very fond of her first daughter-in-law Payal and the two are sometimes seen together in public. Pamela Chopra was spotted with her ex-daughter-in-law at a popular Japanese restaurant in Bandra.
