Prakash Raj gets divorce
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,November 19 2009]
A family court in Chennai dissolved on Wednesday Prakash RajÂs marriage with his wife of 15 years. The Principle Judge for family courts B Ramalingam ordered the dissolution of the1994 marriage, taking note of the petitions filed by the actor and his wife Lalithakumari.
The couple filed separate petitions agreeing to dissolve the marriage through mutual consent, after an out-of-court settlement to this effect was reportedly reached between them last week.
It was Prakash Raj, the National Award winner for the year, who sought the divorce first while his wife, who too is an actor, opposed the dissolution. She however later filed a petition seeking monthly alimony of about Rs two lakh.
This, according to Lalithakumari, was to meet family expenses and education costs of two children. The twist in the tale arrived last week when both the actors came together to the Court and filed petitions for divorce through mutual consent.
