Barely a couple of days after it was reported that Olympics medallist Lovlina Borgohain filed a divorce petition at a family court in Guwahati, the pugilist, on Sunday, issued a clarification.
Lovlina Borgohain has now claimed that she was never married and therefore it would be wrong to state that a divorce petition has been filed.
In a video clarification, Lovlina Borgohain appealed all to put a rest to speculation in regards to her alleged divorce petition.
Lovlina Borgohain clarified that although she was in a relationship with Nabanit Goswami, the couple broke-up 4 months before the Tokyo Olympics.
