Kollam
family
court
rejected
actor
Saikumar's
petition
to
divorce
his
ex-wife,
theatre
artist
Prasanna
Kumari.
The
petition
was
rejected
as
Saikumar
failed
to
appear
in
the
court
for
the
hearings.
Saikumar
married
Prasanna
Kumari
in
1986.
It
was
an
arranged
love
marriage
for
the
couple,
who
has
acted
as
the
lead
pair
in
some
highly
popular
theatre
dramas.
Saikumar
decided
to
end
the
marriage
and
started
living
separately
in
2008.
According
to
the
actor,
Prasanna
Kumari,
was
actually
elder
than
him;
but
cheated
him
by
hiding
her
actual
age.
Saikumar
has
also
stated
that
he
was
fed
up
with
his
wife's
greedy
nature
and
lack
of
respect.
But
Prasanna
Kumari
has
alleged
that
Saikumar
decided
to
end
the
marriage
due
to
his
relationship
with
actress
Bindu
Panicker.
She
also
stated
Saikumar
even
refused
to
support
her
when
she
was
going
through
health
issues.
The
couple's
only
daughter
Vaishnavi
is
living
with
her
mother.
Reportedly,
that
she
quit
her
studies
due
to
financial
issues
and
mental
stress.
As
per
the
rumours,
Vaishnavi
is
sharing
a
cold
relationship
with
her
father.
Saikumar,
on
the
other
hand,
has
married
Bindu
Panicker
in
a
private
ceremony.
He
is
currently
living
in
Kochi,
with
the
actress
and
her
daughter
from
her
first
marriage,
Kalyani.
