Regarding his relationship with Nikita Vijay, interestingly, the two are neither half-siblings, step-siblings, cousins nor blood relations in any way. Instead, they were childhood friends whose friendship transcended into a relationship that led to marriage and later ended in a divorce, now, here is their love story.
Karthik’s father Krishna Kumar and Nikita’s father Deepak Vanjara were good friends thus, the two families became close and so did their children. As a result of their families’ relationship, Nikita and Karthik became very close friends right from their childhood and grew fond of each other.
Seeing that the two were getting along pretty well, their families decided to get them married and in May 2007, Dinesh Karthik and Nikita Vijay (nee Vanjara) tied the knots in a private Indian wedding which held at a suburban hotel in Mumbai. The wedding was attended by only a few friends and family members, even Dinesh’s teammates were absent at the wedding as they were busy at the camp following their upcoming tour in Bangladesh at the time. He joined them at the camp a few days after his wedding.
The two remained married for five years and during those years, they appeared in public as a perfect couple but friends and fans didn’t know that all wasn’t well with them as they all got the shocker of their lives when the marriage ended in 2012, in a divorce trailed by the story of Nikita’s infidelity. It happened that while she was married to Karthik, she was cheating on him with his Tamil Nadu teammate, Murali Vijay, who he has also played with alongside the Indian cricket team. Karthik found out about their relationship in 2012 and that ended their five years marriage.

They have all simply moved on with their lives.
The media and maybe fans have not stopped asking the question – At what point did Nikita and Vijay establish a relationship?
