The
Family
Man
actor
Priyamani
and
Mustafa
Raj
tied
the
knot
in
2017,
long
after
he
separated
from
his
first
wife
Ayesha
in
2013.
However,
Ayesha
has
now
claimed
that
she
is
still
married
to
him
and
Priyamani's
marriage
is
'invalid'.
Ayesha
has
also
slapped
a
domestic
violence
case
against
Priyamani
and
Mustafa
saying
that
he
has
not
separated
from
her
legally
to
date.
Mustafa
Raj
reportedly
shares
two
children
with
Ayesha
and
had
claimed
that
this
is
an
attempt
at
extortion,
as
he
is
providing
child
support.
He
told
ETimes,
"The
charges
against
me
are
false.
I
am
paying
the
children's
maintenance
to
Ayesha
regularly.
She
is
simply
trying
to
extort
money
from
me." Meanwhile,
his
lawyer
Purnima
Bhatia
said
that
the
case
had
been
filed
against
Priyamani
and
Mustafa.
Priyamani,
a
recipient
of
National
Film
Award,
has
appeared
in
Tamil,
Telugu,
Kannada
and
Malayalam
films,
and
also
gained
pan-India
fame
after
appearing
in
The
Family
Man.
The
lawyer
revealed,
"I
was
handling
this
case
for
Mustafa.
Even
now,
I
am
officially
on
it.
As
for
the
matter,
it
is
currently
pending.
However,
I
do
not
know
if
I'll
go
further
in
this
case
or
not."
Meanwhile,
Ayesha
also
opened
up
about
the
case
with
the
portal.
She
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Mustafa
is
still
married
to
me.
Mustafa
and
Priyamani's
marriage
is
invalid.
We
have
not
even
filed
for
divorce
and
while
marrying
Priyamani,
he
declared
in
the
court
that
he
was
a
bachelor."
She
further
explained
why
she
chose
to
file
a
case
years
later.
"As
a
mother
of
two
children,
what
can
you
do?
One
tries
to
sort
it
out
amicably
but
only
when
it
doesn't
work
out,
some
steps
need
to
be
taken
because
you
don't
want
to
lose
out
on
time
which
he
has
been
using
against
me
now."
