The Bengal Story Bureau: KOLKATA: Speculation surrounding the personal life of actor and BJP MLA Hiraan Chatterjee has resurfaced after he was photographed attending a private family ceremony hosted by Ritika Giri. The viral images prompted questions on social media regarding his marital status, forcing his wife Anindita Chatterjee to clarify that the couple is not legally divorced.
Ritika Giri shared a series of photographs on her Instagram account on Monday, documenting her niece’s rice-eating ceremony. The pictures clearly show Chatterjee participating in the family gathering alongside Giri and her relatives. While neither Chatterjee nor Giri has issued an official statement about their equation, the public appearance immediately triggered debates in both entertainment and political circles.
Divorce Proceedings Still Pending
Following the circulation of the images, netizens questioned whether the BJP legislator had finalised his divorce from his first wife. Addressing the fresh wave of rumours, Anindita Chatterjee told the media that their legal marital status remains unchanged.

“Our legal separation has not happened yet,” Anindita said. “The matter is sub-judice. I cannot say anything more than this.”
The brief statement addresses the legal questions surrounding the legislator, even as social media speculation over his personal life continues.
A History of Social Media Controversy
This is not the first time the actor’s relationship with Giri has drawn public attention. Earlier this year, unverified pictures hinting at a secret marriage between the two surfaced online, triggering a massive debate across the state. During that episode, Anindita had similarly stepped forward to inform the press that no official divorce decree had been granted.

Observers note that Giri has become increasingly open about her association with the actor turned politician. Following the recent assembly election results on May 4, she posted celebratory photographs of Chatterjee on her digital profiles.
The latest family gathering pictures indicate a comfortable dynamic between Chatterjee and Giri’s relatives. However, with the court proceedings still active, his official marital status with Anindita remains legally binding.
