Over past six months, couple's relationship has deteriorated

4 days ago, Yuva Rajkumar submitted a divorce petition in family court

In an unprecedented event for Sandalwood’s illustrious Dr Rajkumar’s family, actor Yuva Rajkumar and his wife Sridevi Bhairappa are heading for a divorce. Over the past six months, the couple’s relationship has noticeably deteriorated, culminating in Yuva Rajkumar filing for divorce.

Sridevi, once a constant presence at their family’s every event, has been conspicuously absent, fueling speculation about marital discord. The situation took a definitive turn four days ago when Yuva Rajkumar submitted a divorce petition in the family court.

Filed under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act on June 6th, the petition accuses Sridevi of cruelty and mental torture. The court has accepted the petition and scheduled the first hearing for July 4th.

This case marks the first divorce within the Dr Rajkumar’s family, capturing significant public and media attention. Yuva Rajkumar, the second son of Sandalwood actor Raghavendra Rajkumar, alleges that Sridevi’s behavior has been increasingly hostile and disrespectful, leading to an irreparable breakdown in their relationship.

The estrangement between Yuva and Sridevi has been apparent for months. Despite their initial public appearances together, Sridevi has been missing from recent family events and professional engagements, including the promotion of Yuva’s latest movie.

As the court proceedings unfold, this high-profile divorce is set to be a pivotal moment in the storied history of the Dr Rajkumar family.
