Pooja
Batra
has
filed
for
a
divorce
from
Los
Angeles-based
orthopedic
surgeon
Dr
Sonu
Ahluwalia,
whom
she
married
over
eight
years
ago.
Says
a
source,
"Pooja
and
her
husband
have
separated
and
are
filing
for
divorce
in
Los
Angeles.
She
moved
out
of
Sonu's
home
a
few
months
ago."
Frequent
trips
Over
the
last
couple
of
years,
Batra
has
been
making
frequent
trips
to
India,
giving
rise
to
speculation
that
there
was
trouble
brewing
in
the
marriage.
She
was
spotted
at
film
parties
and
B-Town
events
quite
a
bit
last
year.
She
had
even
arranged
for
Sylvester
Stallone
to
work
in
Kambakkht
Ishq.
According
to
the
source,
"Apparently,
Sonu
wanted
children
and
Pooja
didn't.
She
felt
that
it
would
affect
her
figure.
She
wants
a
career
in
Hollywood
and
has
been
going
for
auditions
but
things
aren't
going
her
way.
She
has
now
rented
a
place
in
LA
where
she
stays.
“It's
very
sad
that
they
may
be
splitting
up.
Sonu
is
a
fantastic
guy
and
is
a
famous
doctor
there.
He
tolerated
all
her
nakhras,
bought
her
a
lovely
home,
a
swanky
car
and
was
paying
for
her
acting
and
make-up
classes.
When
they
came
down
last
year
they
seemed
very
happy
together."
Pooja
could
not
be
reached
for
comment.
