Darshan & Vijayalakshmi Celebrate Wedding Anniversary, Share Sweet Moment On Insta With Heartfelt Caption

Darshan Marks 22 Years of Marriage Amid Recent Controversies: Actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and his wife, Vijayalakshmi, are currently celebrating their 22nd wedding anniversary. The couple tied the knot on May 19, 2003, at Dharmasthala Temple, which Vijayalakshmi marked by sharing a photo of them together on social media. Captioned simply as "eternally," the post caught the attention of fans and industry friends alike, many of whom extended their best wishes for the milestone.

The photo shows Darshan dressed casually in a black t-shirt and jeans paired with specs, while Vijayalakshmi appears in a floral shirt-pant set, with the couple posing in front of a Rolls-Royce.The couple, who have a son named Vineesh, have maintained a public presence despite a turbulent personal history.

Recently, Darshan has been busy shooting for his upcoming Kannada film The Devil in Rajasthan. The action movie, which is directed and co-produced by Prakash, features a notable ensemble cast including Rachana Rai, Mahesh Manjrekar, Jisshu Sengupta, Mukesh Rishi, and Fardeen Khan. Vijayalakshmi has reportedly accompanied him during the shoot, sharing glimpses of their time in Rajasthan on her social media accounts. Vijayalakshmi has shared photos of her visits to local restaurants and scenic spots, dressed in both traditional and Western attire.

Legal Troubles Shadow Darshan's Personal and Professional Life

Darshan's personal life has seen its share of legal challenges. Since 2011, Darshan and Vijayalakshmi's relationship has been marked by reports of domestic discord. In 2011, Vijayalakshmi filed a case against Darshan accusing him of domestic violence, which led to his arrest and a short period in judicial custody. Although the couple later settled their issues out of court, further complaints arose in 2016, with Vijayalakshmi reporting "objectionable behavior" by Darshan to the police.

More recently, in June 2024, Darshan was arrested in Mysuru in connection with the murder of Renukaswamy, a man allegedly involved in sending obscene messages to actress Pavithra Gowda, who reportedly shares a strong relationship with Darshan. Darshan and ten others were accused of assaulting the victim, who later died. The case resulted in prolonged judicial custody for all accused, but in late 2024, Darshan was granted interim bail followed by regular bail from the Karnataka High Court.

The couple's anniversary thus comes at a complex time, as Darshan continues to balance his professional commitments with ongoing legal matters. Fans and observers remain watchful as the situation develops while the actor maintains his work in the Kannada film industry.
