Celebrity split – Prakashraj seeks divorc

Thanks for the info, Meli..

Too bad.. but this was long expected in the filmy circle. PrakashRaj is nothing short of a 'Manmadhan', both before and after his marriage. He has admitted to all his shortcomings as a family man in his "sort of a autobiographical" series in Ananda Vikatan, published a while ago. While he went on and on about his mother and the son he lost and his daughter who is alive, all his ex-lovers, and the ex-lovers who want to revive their contacts with him, he never once wrote about his wife or how they fell in love and got married. When I was reading that series, that struck me as very odd!

He got married to LalithaKumari when he was just a up and coming artist in Kolly and the scribes say that he got to his waywardness soon after. Recently, he was heavily linked with SwarnaMalya while shooting and after the release of Mozhi. Most mags rumored that he even got her a house in East Coast Road. And in the recent issue of JV, the rumor columnist said, now he's even bitter with the "Maalyam" relationship.

He came across to me as a straight forward, haughty, hardworking, daring, enterprising person from the series he wrote. But not a family man and definitely insensitive too. I love his talents as an actor. But other than that...

I really hope LalithaKumari gets a very good "deal", if the divorce goes through. Something that will make him work just as hard or harder for the next 10 years to come. 😈 😈

I'm always puzzled that Paparazzi in the US and Britain, somehow get access to the Divorce settlement details to the T, but in Kolly we are always wondering how mcuh the wifey (and in most cases, it is the wifey) managed to scrape thro from these stingy Manmadhans. Ex.. How much did Seetha get from Parthiban, Sarika from Kamal, Sujaya from Yuvan? May be there are others, but I'm curious about these 3.. esp Sujaya.

And why is it that those with kids, it's always the rich husbands who gets the custody of children? Parthiban? Kamal? and now Prakash? Is it b'cos if they get to keep their children, then the alimony they have to dole out would be much lesser? And it's splendid for their male ego + they look good in society?

In the case of Kamal, the children were already sort of grown up and I read somewhere that both parents got equal custody (!?) but Parthiban got sole custody of their children, including the boy that they had adopted. And now Prakash is asking for their only daughter! So does he expect Lalitha Kumari who is in her late 30's to remarry and have kids? What a mor*n!

I lovvvvve some of these actors I've mentioned here, but as a woman, I can't stand what they did (or did not do) to their ex-spouses, taking away the kids from the Moms. 😡

I shud say men r finacially more stable, Sarita was broke , so considering the Kids' future, the father gets the custody of the child. But its very very unfair on the mother 😕

A lot of Marriages seem to be falling apart, God, keep my surya and jyothika safe!

And do they all feel the kids are going to be hppy whn their parents r separated? I was damn depressed when my parents went thru a rough phase of marriage, luckily for me, they decided to remain together and leve behind the past;I can't even think of the other side!

I'm so happy for you, Ditts 😊

I read Shruti Kamal's interview a few years ago, when they asked her probing questions about the split, she said that she and her sister were actually OK! She said that it actually hurts the children of such parents a lot, to be living in a hostile environment (i.e. if they decide not to split). While it is mostly (and unarguably) true that children of divorced/separated parents do suffer to some extent, missing one parent or the other, it also seems to do them some good, if the situation had been terrible, prior to the divorce. Well.. there are always exceptions in both cases - if children are going to live peacefully this way or the other. But if the Parents, like in your case, sacrifice for the sake of their children and decide to move on together, it is the best that they can do to their children.

You had mentioned Saritha's case.. don't know exactly what happened there. I'm not sure how the Indian family court decides the custody of children... but in the US, it is not about who is financially more stable. It is decided based on who is more fit to raise the children.

This is what I know from what I've read before. Unless the father can prove that the mother is unfit to keep the children citing drug abuse or disease or whatever else, the law will favor the mother to keep custody of her children even if she is penniless, and ask the father to pay alimony and child support to the mother every single month, until he dies and thereafter, from his estates, if he has any.

I dont think they publish it to the public like they do it in western countries, cause otherwise tamil media would have wrote about it. Do u guys know how many kids Prakash Raj do have? I thought he had 3 kids 😕

anyway, I heard if the kid was a girl then the mother will easy get the custody but also if the parent are fit to raise that kid in India?

Did u guys read about bitter divorce between McCartney and Mills? I felt like that lady was greedy 😆

Ho...Mccartney was toooo much in lvoe with her in the beginning, I dont know wht went wrong b/w Heather and Mc.She seems greedy but U can't help believing the stories

wow.. it's very sad that prakashraj is filing for divorce. i think they should try to salvage the marriage at least for the sake of their daughter. the trauma the girl will have to go through and the damage it will do to her morale is more or less irreversible.

ohkay.. it's quite a shock for me to hear that prakashraj is actually a womaniser. is that why he signed on trisha who is so fond of having 'good' friends in the industry for 'abhiyum naanum' or is it because of her staggering acting prowess?😆😆😆 kk.. i'm going off topic here.

awww.. don't worry ditty! surya is too much in love with jothika to leave for her any other woman. he's one of the most sincere men i've ever seen in my life. surya and jothika will get their grandchildren married together!😃

So the news i heard is true 😭 😭 Very sad. I remember in a show Coffee with Anu, Kushboo was praising him high bout his marriage 😕 Looks like things did not turn out well lol...

Thanks meli for the info 😳
