Successful Celebrity weddings are not very common in the tinsel town. However, many couples have broken stereotypes and have lived happily ever after. There are some relationships which ended in a messy divorce and left them amidst media scrutiny. Also, infidelity has been quite common in the film fraternity. Here are 3 celebrity couples who took it up to the the next level and pulled their husbands to the court by filing a legal case against them:
Ramlath (aka) Latha and Prabhu Deva: Known to many, Prabhu Deva and Nayanthara were in a relationship for quite a long time and also in a serious one. According to reports, Prabhu Deva’s wife Ramlath filed a legal case against him and urged the court to direct Prabhu Deva to live with her. “There were rumours that he fell in love with actress Nayanthara, who was a part of one of his movies. My well wishers too informed me about their relationship. Recently, a website carried my husband’s interview in which he was quoted as saying that he would marry Nayanthara soon,” she reportedly said in an interview.
She further added that Prabhu Deva would never come home to his kids or her, which urged her to take up this decision. “Nayanthara had been spreading rumors that she had offered me Rs 3.85 crore and jewels to divorce Prabhu Deva and agree for their marriage. It had affected me a lot,” she concluded. They mutually parted ways through divorce. Quite a mess, isn’t it?
Priyadarshan and Lissy: Initially, Lissy filed a domestic violence case against her ex-husband, filmmaker Priyadarshan in the High Court. A divorce case between them was also running simultaneously. During the first hearing, neither of them were ready to compromise. However, after a proper division of assets between the couple, the domestic violence case was withdrawn and they parted ways through divorce by mutual consent. Priyadarshan and Lissy were married for 24 years.
“My marriage with Mr Priyadarshan has officially ended. We both signed the final papers at the honorable family court in Chennai. This has been a real ordeal,” Lissy told the media.
Leander Paes and Rhea Pillai: They were rumored to be married but according to reports, they were in a live-in relationship. Rhea and Leander have a daughter named Aiyana. Socialite Rhea Pillai was the former wife of Bollywood Actor Sanjay Dutt. Reportedly, Rhea and Leander started dating while she was still married to Sanjay Dutt. In 2014, Rhea filed a complaint against Leander Paes and his father for domestic violence. She demanded a maintenance and protection sum worth Rs.4 lakh per month.
In 2015, the case reopened and both were asked to present their proofs and evidences to make a straightforward judgement. Super controversial!
