Bangalore: Shruti Prefers 'Chandra' over 'Indra' - Marries Childhood Friend
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore (GA)
Bangalore, May 8: Sandalwood beauty Shruti who perplexed all and sundry after she sought divorce from her husband Mah’endar’, has now virtually dropped a bombshell in the film industry after it was disclosed that she had already married her 'one-year' lover interest 'Chandra'chood alias Chakravarthy.
As known, Shruti had sought divorce from Mahendar whom she married 11 years ago secretly in Puri Jagannath temple. She has a girl child from Mahendar.
Reliable sources said that Shruti had married Chakravarthy about a month ago and she is now busy performing religious rituals at Tirupati for the success of her 'marriage'. It is gathered that Shruti and Chakravarthy have been 'going on' for almost a year now.
Both Chakravarthy and Shruti hail from Holenarsipur taluk in Hassan district. They are distant relatives too. Chakravarthy had worked as a tabloid journalist before moving towards film industry. His directorial debut 'Janma' is supposed to hit the screens in a few days' time.
Made-for-each-other Couple?
Keeping aside all those rumours, which have taken not only in the film industry but even the state political field by storm (she is State Woman and Child Development Corporation president), there are certain things which seems to be 'working' in favour of Shruti and Chakravarthy. It is just a single number that separates Shruti's phone number with that of Chakravarthy. Both claim that neither of them had asked for the particular number. While Shruti's daughter Gauri was born on June 5, Chakravarthy's daughter was born on June 6. Both of them are 33-year-old now and there is 33 days difference between their birthdays. During their childhood days they studied in the same school and lived on the same street.
Chakravarthy was Shruthi's campaign manager, he wrote her speeches, and will now direct her in a powerful feminist film Janma. It is learnt that he has already disclosed to the media that he is in love with Shruti and is planning to marry her soon. "There is nothing secret about it. Our families know each other and now they know about our relationship too. They don't have any objection. Hence we are marrying soon," he said. However, a famous Kannada actress has confirmed that Shruti and Chakravarthy have already married.
When asked Shruti about her new 'love interest', she replied in the affirmative. "I wanted to divorce Mahendar even before completing the first anniversary of our marriage. But I withheld myself fearing society. But now it's all over as I cannot go on for long. Earlier I had thought of jumping out of the sinking ship. But of recent I learnt that one can live even by jumping to the other ship. That is what I am doing," she added. When she was drawn to the fact that Chakravarthy had already married and even had a child, she said that his marriage too was on rocks. "Hence we have decided to come out of our respective marriages. Both of us perhaps had made wrong choice with regard to our first marriage. But now we want to rectify it," she quipped.
On the other hand, sources close to Mahendar said that reasons sighted by Shruti while seeking divorce are not true. "God only knows as why did she do like this. Mahendar has been shattered. He had no one and nothing else in his life. He even bought a Rs 60 lac house for her soon after the marriage. It is true that he is going through a rough patch of his career. But that cannot just rock their relationship of years together. He has been doing nothing except shedding tears eversince Shruti filed the divorce case," said one of Mahedar's close associates on condition of anonymity.
Whether it is correct or incorrect, Shruti has proved that 'real life' isn't much different from 'reel life', at least for 'haves'. If this had to happen in the life of some 'have nots', it would have been a big issue which could have invited the wrath of everyone around. Shruti had been famous per her strong 'feminist' and 'pro-women' roles in the films and the viewers had accepted her films.
So one has to keep his/her finger crossed to see whether the spectators will accept this 'role' of Shruti who also happens to be the president of State Woman and Child Development Corporation.
Hmmm... isn't it quite right that there is nothing wrong in love and war?
