In response to recent developments involving Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and the arrest of Pavithra Gowda in connection with the murder of Renukaswamy, Vijayalakshmi Darshan, the wife of Darshan Thoogudeepa, has formally addressed the public and the authorities to clarify a significant point of misinformation. In an official letter to the Bengaluru Commissioner of Police, she has underscored that Pavithra Gowda is not, and has never been, her husband’s wife.

Vijayalakshmi's letter, penned amidst the ongoing legal proceedings, acknowledges the recent arrest of her husband and others in the Renukaswamy murder case. She expresses unwavering faith in the judiciary and the legal process, while emphasizing her concern over the spreading misinformation regarding Pavithra Gowda's relationship with Darshan.

She firmly establishes her status as the only legally recognized wife of Darshan Thoogudeepa, highlighting the date and place of their solemnization of marriage, which took place in Dharamshala on May 19, 2003. This detail is crucial in dispelling any confusion or false narratives that may have emerged in the public domain.

Vijayalakshmi’s letter takes note of a press conference held by the police where Pavithra Gowda was incorrectly referred to as Darshan’s wife. She clarifies that Pavithra Gowda is, in fact, married to another individual named Sanjay Singh and shares a daughter with him. By doing so, she is not only correcting the official record but also preventing any potential legal or personal complications for herself and her son.

This clarification from Vijayalakshmi comes in the context of Darshan Thoogudeepa’s arrest on June 11, 2023, for his alleged involvement in the murder of Renukaswamy, a fan of Darshan who had sent obscene messages to Pavithra Gowda. The case has attracted significant media attention, with details and speculations about the nature of the relationships between the involved parties being widely discussed.

Vijayalakshmi’s letter serves a dual purpose: to correct the record and to protect her family’s integrity amidst the legal proceedings. By formally clarifying her husband's relationship with Pavithra Gowda, she aims to ensure that the truth is accurately reflected in official records and public perception, thus safeguarding her family from any undue repercussions.
