MUMBAI : As the Hema report has opened a can of worms in Mollywood, Malayalam actor and politician Mukesh was recently accused of verbal and physical abuse as well as sexual harassment by a junior artist. It also finds out that Mukesh was the target of similar abuse claims made almost ten years earlier by his first wife, Saritha.
From 1988 until their 2011 divorce, Saritha, who was married to Mukesh from 1988 to 2011, disclosed that their union was filled with cruelty and torment. In a previous interview, Saritha said, “When I was pregnant, he (Mukesh) kicked me in the stomach and I fell into the yard. I cried and he said I was a good actress. He always found something to hurt me.”
She revealed, “Once, when I was nine months pregnant, we went out for dinner together. While returning, when I tried to get into the car, he kept tricking me by taking the car forward and backwards. When I ran behind the car, I fell down and sat there crying.”
She added, “Once, when he returned drunk at midnight, I asked why he was late. He pulled me by the hair, dragged me through the floor and beat me.”
Saritha revealed that Mukesh’s extra marital affairs were the main reason for their troubled marriage, She said, “To show others that all was well, we clicked pictures pretending to be happy on the occasion of Onam and similar instances. Amid all these issues, he had affairs with many. I just hoped that he would realise his mistake and come back.”
Saritha eventually parted ways with Mukesh in 2011.
