Breaking news about a possible split in a marriage is never a happy thing.

But the situation has to such a pass that the news about the impending parting of ways between Sumanth and Keerthi Reddy has to be told to the world.

The news from the duo's camp is that the two are enduring a strained period in their relationship.

The troubled phase that the duo is enduring is being attributed to the privileged life that Keerthi had been exposed to all along (she is the daughter of well-known politico Ganga Reddy).

Keerthi, it is said, has packed her bags and gone to her mother's place in Bangalore. Sources in the know point out that she was interested in typical star-wife kind of thing --- hosting talks shows or running beauty boutiques. This is the trend in Bollywood.

But Sumanth, who is just about getting a foothold in the industry, is not able to come up with what Keerthi wants.

Hence, things are not hunkydory between the two. But some family members are working to keep the marriage on.
