Days
after
speculations,
Methil
Devika
has
finally
announced
her
separation
from
her
husband
and
currently
serving
Kollam
MLA
Mukesh
after
eight
years
of
marriage.
During
her
recent
interaction
with
media,
the
renowned
classical
dancer
revealed
that
she
has
sent
a
divorce
notice
to
the
senior
actor
through
her
lawyer.
Stating
that
she
doesn't
want
to
defame
him
by
raising
allegations
Devika
said,
"I
have
filed
the
divorce
petition.
Mukesh
didn't
reveal
his
stance
on
the
matter.
The
reason
behind
the
divorce
is
personal.
I
am
going
through
a
tough
situation
after
taking
the
decision.
So
I
request
everyone
to
allow
me
to
overcome
this
peacefully.
I
am
not
interested
to
defame
him.
There
is
no
need
to
connect
his
personal
issues
with
his
life
as
a
politician
and
actor.
I
don't
need
to
part
away
from
him
angrily."
(quotes
from
Malayalam
tabloid
Mathrubhumi)
When
quizzed
about
domestic
violence
allegations,
Devika
went
on
to
say
that
she
didn't
raise
any
in
her
divorce
petition.
She
further
added,
"I
didn't
raise
domestic
violence
allegations
against
him
(Mukesh)
in
my
divorce
petition.
I
am
not
interested
to
react
to
political
allegations."
Earlier,
several
media
reports
had
highlighted
domestic
violence
and
Mukesh's
alleged
relationships
as
reasons
behind
the
divorce.
Reports
also
claimed
that
Methil
Devika
was
upset
with
him
as
he
used
foul
language.
Notably,
Mukesh
was
recently
in
the
news
after
an
audio
clip
allegedly
claimed
that
he
yelled
at
a
school
student,
and
even
used
undignified
language
over
the
phone.
Well,
Devika
tied
the
knot
with
Mukesh
in
2013.
The
actor
was
earlier
married
to
actress
Saritha.
The
duo
got
divorced
in
2011.
On
the
other
hand,
Devika
was
previously
married
to
Rajeev
Nair.
They
both
decided
to
part
ways
after
2
years
of
marriage.
