Actor
Mukesh
had
made
it
to
the
headlines
after
he
got
married
to
the
dancer
Methil
Devika
last
Friday.
It
was
a
love
marriage.
Mukesh,
who
married
actress
Saritha
earlier,
had
two
sons.
But
soon
after
the
marriage,
Saritha
came
front
claiming
that
Mukesh's
new
marriage
stands
illegal
as
she
and
Mukesh
are
not
officially
divorced.
Though
Mukesh
did
not
respond
then,
the
actor
has
come
up
with
his
reply
now.
Mukesh
says
that
he
and
Saritha
were
living
separately
since
1996.
He
filed
a
divorce
case
at
Ernakulam
Family
Court
and
the
court
granted
him
the
divorce
in
2012
January.
Mukesh
says
that
now
it
has
been
one
and
a
half
years
since
he
got
his
divorce
from
Saritha
and
so,
adding
on,
he
claims
that
his
second
marriage
is
in
no
way
an
act
of
bigamy.
Mukesh
says
that
he
married
Methil
Devika
under
the
special
marriage
act.
He
had
submitted
all
the
records
of
his
previous
marriage
including
the
divorce
granted
paper
before
getting
married
to
Methil
Devika.
Under
these
circumstances,
Mukesh
says
that
his
marriage
with
Methil
Devika
is
legal
in
all
ways
and
Saritha's
claims
stand
way
out.
Mukesh
was
in
Dubai
when
Saritha
made
her
statement
against
the
re-marriage.
His
sons
are
staying
along
with
Saritha,
who
is
currently
residing
in
Dubai.
