According to India.com, Sridevi has been living separately for over a year. This was especially noticeable during the premiere of Yuva Rajkumar's debut movie "Yuva" in March. The next court hearing is scheduled for July 4. Although Yuva Rajkumar is currently abroad, he hasn't commented on the situation yet. It's reported that he is seeking a divorce due to incompatibility and emotional distress. Fans of Dr. Rajkumar are disappointed by this news, as the Rajkumar family is traditionally known for strong marital bonds.
Yuva Rajkumar, originally known as Guru, and his wife Sridevi had a strong friendship that lasted over seven years before they decided to get married. Initially, Yuva's family wasn't very supportive of their relationship, but with the help of the late Puneeth Rajkumar, their love story received the family's blessing. Their wedding was a significant event that drew a lot of public attention and was made even more special by the presence of prominent celebrities from the South Indian film industry, including Mega Star Chiranjeevi.
