Kannada Actor Yuva Rajkumar files divorce petition with Sridevi Byrappa after 5 years of marriage

Yuva Rajkumar and Sridevi

Yuva Rajkumar, a popular actor in the Kannada film industry and the son of famous actor Raghavendra Rajkumar, as well as the grandson of the legendary Dr. Rajkumar, reportedly filed for divorce from his wife, Sridevi Byrappa, on June 6 at a family court.

After being together for over five years, the couple officially tied the knot in May 2019. Their wedding was a glamorous event attended by well-known actors from Kannada cinema and top stars from South Indian cinema, including Chiranjeevi from the Telugu film industry and Rashmika Mandanna.

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.
