Shah Rukh Khan's 'Ra.One' singer Akon and wife announce divorce days before their 29th wedding anniversary

International singer Akon, who came to Bollywood with the Shah Rukh Khan-Kareena Kapoor starrer Ra.One in 2011 where he sang two songs- Chammak Challo and Criminal, is making headlines as he and his wife Tomeka Thiam have announced their divorce days before their 29th wedding anniversary.

And the moment the news spread on the internet, these are some of the reactions that have come online:

One wrote- “The same Akon who said “I’ve slept with every background dancer I’ve ever hired” that Akon? SHOCKED I say.”

A second said, “Well, he had that one good girl, that had always been there, man. Took all the bullshit. But then one day, she couldn’t take it no more and decided to leave.”

A third commented- “I’m guessing he’s thinking about retiring, touring less and actually being at home… so she’s outta there.

honestly if your cheating piece of shit husband is on the road/touring like 90% of the year making money. Stay, watch that fortune grow and leave when he’s ready to spend more time at home, genius move.”

And another wrote- “She was already acting distant and not very nice. She said she didn’t love me. I said “if you aren’t gonna love me and be affectionate then I didn’t want to be in it either” the next day, I had an email from the lawyer.”

When Anubhav Sinha talked about the singer

The Ra.One director once said, “The benefits of working with Shah Rukh Khan are immense. I called him and said, ‘ I want Akon,’ he said done. Never asked me why, or from where can he get him for me.”
