The Vanitha Vijayakumar-Peter Paul marriage controversy is intensifying after the groom's first wife Elisabeth Paul went to the police complaining that she is still his legally wedded wife and is not divorced. Meanwhile actress and social activist Lakshmi Ramakrishnan had expressed her shock on Twitter stating "I just watched the news!! The man is already married and having two kids, not divorced!!! How can someone with education and exposure make such a blunder?!! Shocked!!! Why did the first wife wait till the #VanithaPeterpaulWedding got over , why didn’t she stop it?.

Lakshmi had added with concern for her industry colleague "I actually was hoping, she settles down well in this relationship, she has gone through tough times and has been vocal about her experiences. Everyone wanted her to be happy, but sad that she didn’t look into this part!!!..Unless women understand the true meaning of #Empowerment nothing is going to change! #Disgusting"

Vanitha Vijayakumar has slammed Lakshmy Ramakrishnan in a string of tweets "thank you for your concern ...I am very well.educated and legally knowledgeable...I can handle my life as I always have fine.without anyones support...BTW I don't need u to.approve or support my decisions...kindly stay away its not a public issue..its not ur show keep ur business with the poor innocent public who become scape goat in ur show where you act as a judge to.make money ..you have no business to.comment.. Take of ur life...good luck to u...emove ur tweet and for once mind ur own business..ur not in #biggboss show or ur nonsense family spoiling shows

Vanitha has added "You are not legal counsel or authorized to discuss other people personal in any public platform.the woman who is involved has a family who she lives with past 7 years who will ensure her safety and http://security.you stop poking ur nose please..If you really had concern you should have called me or DM me.instead of using this situation for your antics and publicity...As I told u already this is not ur show.I am knowingly or unknowingly involved we will sort it out.we don't need ur voluntary moral policing"

Vanitha has also defended Peter Paul by writing "There are always 2 sides to a story.especially in a dispute between a couple.just because one person chose to suddenly grab limelight and speak utter rubbish it doesn't become a true story.just because one person is decent enough to respect the children privacy and doesn't open...Up and talk openly doesn't mean they are a wrong person.let the law takes its course.u and I are mere spectators and have no right to comment...Do u know why 2 people get separated or divorced. It is not your business to be concerned in any way as your not involved in this are all.I myself am not interfering in their personal.kindly mind your own business and keep your concerns regarding someone you hardly know to urself.

Lakshmi Ramakrishnan for her part has cleared the air what her true intentions were writing "Can we stop discussing #VanithaPeterpaulWedding pls... I tweeted my opinion because of the need to raise voice against remarriage without legal divorce. When I touch upon a more important issue like abuse, rape or the recent death of father & son, I don’t get so much response!
