  “If my household problem concerns Kerala, I would have spoken about it. The reason for divorce is personal and I do not want to delve into it,” she told reporters in Palakkad.

Refuting the domestic violence allegations, Devika said that it is not included in the list of complaints or as a ground for divorce.

“There are various forms of domestic violence. I would not be able to answer anything specific; that’s my personal issue,” the dancer told AsiaNet.  

Devika said that she was waiting for the recently held Kerala Assembly elections to get over to initiate the divorce proceedings.

Mukesh is presently the Kollam MLA, after having won as the CPI(M)’s candidate from the constituency.

“Although talks have been going on since then, I served the legal notice to make it formal and convey that I am serious about it,” the classical dancer told the media.
