Talking to ETimes, Pankit revealed that he is also ready to give Prachi the custody of their son. He said, "I am waiting for the pandemic to end so that I can file for divorce. We have been living separately since 2015 and now both of us find ourselves at a better place and in happy state in life. We still respect each other and things are very clear between us. We have mutually decided to stay responsible towards our son. And I am fine with him staying with his mother. I lost my mom when I was quite young and I understand how important a mom is in a kid's life. We are filing our divorce with mutual consent."

He also added that he holds no grudges towards Prachi and said, "I always respect for who she is. But at times things are not in our hands. We tried our best to be together but we failed and have eventually found peace in living separately. I married her after falling for her and going against my family as she eight years elder to me and I was just 21 at that time. I was at peak of my career and believed that was the right time god is blessing me with everything I wished for."
Back in 2017, it was being said that Pankit was the reason why Vahbiz Dorabjee and Vivian D'Sena parted ways. It was also rumoured that Pankit and Prachi would also file for divorce but the couple had refuted the rumours.
