Nischal Chandran's version

Reality is two-sided; so is to Mollywood's latest hot happening, the split between Kavya Madhavan and Nischal Chandran! They married on February 5 last year, then decided to split.

Kavya Madhavan recently filed her divorce papers at the Ernakulam Family Court in Kochi, apart from another petition with the Ernakulam First Class Magistrate Court against her husband and in-laws under the Domestic Violence Act for causing mental stress. She alleges that Nischal and his parents were torturing her mentally and Nishal's family has still not returned her gold ornaments worth Rs. 65 lakhs.

But Nishal Chandran says that all the charges against him in the divorce petition are baseless. He held a press conference in Kuwait on Monday immediately after Kavya filed for a divorce.

''We've handed over the jewellery to Kavya's mother just after the wedding ceremonies. And as far as her career is concerned, both the families jointly took the decision that she will not continue her film commitments after marriage. But the problem started when Kavya came to Kerala to finish her balance scenes in Pattanathil Bhootham. After the shoot of the film, she came back a changed person,” Nishal said.

Nischal also said that he is getting calls from industry bigwigs, pressurizing him to sign the divorce papers. "Actor and politician K.B. Ganesh Kumar had called me advising to sign the divorce petition to avoid future problems," he added.
