Popular Mollywood star and politician Mukesh and his wife Methil Devika, a prominent dancer, are heading for a divorce. In an interview with a Malayalam news channel, Methil Devika revealed that she has approached the family court to get a divorce. “I have no adverse feelings towards Mukesh and the choice to split is purely a personal decision,” said Devika, who has been staying in her ancestral home over the past few months due to personal differences with Mukesh.

She further added that she has no issues with Mukesh's family. “Though we were together for the past eight years, I was not able to understand him as a husband. He was never a good husband. So no matter how many years I live with him, I won't be able to understand him. Hence, I decided to split,” Devika added. She also said that she has no harsh feelings towards the actor and that she hopes to remain good friends.

Mukesh was previously married to popular South Indian actress Saritha. The couple got divorced in 2011. Saritha had previously alleged that Mukesh was an alcoholic, and that he used to have physical relationships with several women. Later in 2013, Mukesh found love for the second time and got married to Devika.
