They have two children together, Siddharth and Kalyani. After 24 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation in 2015. While the industry was shocked to see their favorite couple separate, they kept the reason private. In 2016, the divorce was finalised, despite their friends’ efforts to mediate. A year later, when there were rumors about them getting back together, Lissy clarified that that’s not the case. In a post shared on Facebook, she said, “There has been constant yellow media speculation about the reasons I filed for divorce and whether myself and Mr. Priyadarsan will be getting back together. Clear and straight answer to that is NO and NEVER. The reasons I filed for divorce are very clear to my children (who have been a great support), the Honorable courts, and Mr. Priyadarsan. Those reasons are absolutely irreversible. Only I know what I went through and for what reasons I had put up with it, which I am not prepared to discuss or disclose.”
