him
and
settled
abroad
with

children.
Saritha,
who
made
her
Sandalwood
debut
with
Thappida
Thala
in
1978,
was
in
limelight
when
she
opposed
her
ex-husband
Mukesh's
marriage
with
a
Malayali
dancer
Methil
Devika.
The
actress
had
claimed

the
marriage
is

and

have
still
not
got
divorce
in
the
court.
Saritha
had
married
Mukesh
in
1988,
and

couple
were
blessed
with
two
children.
It

that
the
duo
got
separated
due
to
marital
discord.
The
actress,
who
is
presently
residing
in
Dubai
with
her
two
sons
Sravan
and
Thejas,has
given
a
press
statement
saying
that
Mukesh
has
taken
advantage
of
her
absence
in
India,
and
married
Devika.
She
said,
"Mukesh
did
not
appear
in
the
court
for
many
hearings,
whereas
I
travelled
down
from
abroad
each
time
for
the
court
hearings.
Later,
due
to
his
consistent
absence,
the
divorce
petition
on
mutual
basis
was
withdrawn
by
me
in
2010.
Thereafter,
Mukesh
has
not
sent
me
any
notice
or
petition
for
divorce."
