Cryptic Message: Odia Actor-Turned-MP Anubhav Wishes Luck To Varsha For Her New Movie

By OB Bureau On Aug 25, 2021

Bhubaneswar: Amid the bitter legal battle, actor and Kendrapada MP Anubhav Mohanty posted a ‘good luck’ message for his estranged wife Varsha Priyadarshini on her verified Facebook page.

“I got to know that you have started shooting for your new movie. From the beginning, you have been very confident and free to take decisions in your work field. Best wishes and I and my family pray for your success near Lord Jagannath,” he wrote.

The post assumes signification as Varsha had earlier accused Anubhav and his family members of not allow her to continue acting in films after marriage and tried to keep her home-bound.

The goings have not been easy for the MP with his personal life under constant media scrutiny since September last year when Varsha filed a case accusing him of domestic abuse and demanding restoration of conjugal rights. That is when the media got the whiff about Anubhav having moved a Family Court in New Delhi in July for divorce from Varsha on grounds of cruelty while claiming that the marriage between them has never been consummated.

In her petition, filed on August 31, 2020, before the Sub Divisional Magistrate of Cuttack under section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, Priyadarshini alleged that her husband used to hit her while in an inebriated state. She added that he abused her after getting drunk and behaved like an “uncivilised person”. She also urged the court to direct Anubhav to pay compensation and damages for the loss of her income, medical expenses, rent and monthly maintenance totalling Rs 15 crore.
