Singh
got married to Talwar in January 2011 but it was only in 2014, on a reality
show, that he revealed about him being married and introduced his wife on
national television.

A
decade into their marriage, Talwar alleged she was ‘subjected to numerous
incidents of physical abuse, verbal, mental abuse and emotional abuse’, at the
hands of Hirdesh Singh (his real name), his parents and his younger sister,
Sneha, who got married earlier this year. Talwar has also accused Singh of
alcoholism and adultery.

While
the singer is yet to comment on the matter, a source close to the couple
reveals that Singh loved Talwar very much.

“He
never had an affair with anyone. She supported him a lot. He had bipolar, then
got a bit away from Bollywood, it was her who got him back to alright. He was
depressed that they weren’t able to have a child. Family ke andar kya hua, pata
nahi,” source told Hindustan Times.

The
source further insists that he was loyal to Shalini but had taken to the
bottle, “Yes, Yo Yo drank before. Lekin affair nahi dekha maine. Musicians have
such a life that they’re inside their studios mostly, nasha karte hain, music
banate hain, and repeat. Baaki har family ke andar ladaai toh hoti rehti hain.”
