THE INSIDE STORY: Why Waluscha De Sousa Divorced Marc Robinson

Shah Rukh Khan’s co-star in Fan, Waluscha De Sousa was all of 19 when she became Mrs Marc Robinson in 2002. 3 kids – Chanel, Sienna and Brooklyn - and 10 years later, the Robinsons officially ended their marriage.

What exactly went wrong? It’s a long list of problems, each more dreadful, than the rest.

It started with Marc insisting Waluscha give up her promising modelling career to almost confining her at home.

While Marc continued with his philandering ways, Waluscha was totally cut off, not just from the glamour world, but even her close friends – of course, many of them were from the fashion industry.

As years progressed, the young girl, now a mother, was frustrated and suffocated.

"It all happened very quickly and I disappeared into another life. I was only 19 and in love, it felt like the right thing to do at that time. I've never tried to over-think a situation or fight what life has in store. I got married and had three babies — it was a part of my life's journey," Waluscha had said in a recent interview.

But her journey has been fraught with constant struggle, an abusive marriage, a husband who shamelessly womanized, emotional alienation and the lack of a career she was once great at.

Marc completely barred Waluscha from meeting anyone. While he had a bustling social life and frequently went out for parties, Waluscha would never allowed to accompany him. She would be at home, taking care of the kids.

A decade of emotional abuse ended with the Robinsons applying for a formal separation. Or so you’d think...

Even in separation, Marc didn’t make things easy for Waluscha. After he walked out on her, because of his relationship with pageant winner Navneet Kaur Dhillon, he hurled accusations at his estranged wife. Marc told a section of the media, "the truth as to who walked out on who” would be revealed in court and it will "surprise" everyone.

After a court battle, the two divorced in 2012.

Waluscha is finally following her dream of being in the movies now... a journey she could have started a decade back, had it not been for a suffocating marriage. But then, like they say – there’s a right time for everything, and it’s never too late to follow your dreams!

Rewinding a little: Waluscha De Sousa was a happy-go-lucky teenager who was discovered by designer Wendell Rodricks in Goa in the 90s. In no time, the stunning beauty took over the Indian fashion scene by storm. The leggy lass commanded attention, when she strutted the runway in sheer beauty and confidence.  At Wendel’s suggestion she went on to participate in the Miss India pageant.

It’s during one of the ramp shows in 2002 that the scorching Miss De Sousa crossed paths with supermodel-turned-choreographer Marc Robinson. They fell in love, got married... but like we know, theirs wasn’t a happily ever after kind of story.
