Naresh's third wife Ramya Raghupathi has been making fresh allegations. It's suspected that she is behind the rumour that Naresh and actress Pavitra Lokesh are planning to get married.

In the wake of these developments, Naresh has issued a video statement.

Here is what Naresh said:

I and Ramya have been separated for 8 years. She has resorted to some financial frauds in Hindupur in the past. Later, in Hyderabad, she got finances from many individuals here. After those who got cheated filed police complaints against her in Hyderabad, she went to Bengaluru and allied with a TV channel there to resort to tarnishing my image.

She had blackmailed me to part Rs 50 lakh with her. I gave Rs 10 lakh. I sent her divorce papers one month back. In this context, she has been trying to divert the issue by claiming that I am going for another marriage. This is not true at all.

I have undergone torture for 8 years. Please don't drag Pavitra Lokesh into the issue. I am not divorcing Ramya so that I can live with Pavitra. We have done no wrong. We don't need to fear anyone. I want to say clearly that my conscience is clear. I fear God, not Devil.

Here is what Ramya said:

When my mother-in-law was alive, she extracted a promise from me. She asked me not to leave the home ever. She was supportive.

I have asked my son about whom he wants to stay with. He wants me as well as Naresh. He wants us both to live under the same roof. I don't want my son to end up growing up in a broken family.
