The troubled relationship between Kannada star Darshan and his wife Vijayalakshmi got nastier with both of them trading charges in public.
Reacting sharply to the police complaint lodged by his wife against him, Darshan said he had gone to her apartment to see his son but was prevented by the security guard. He also alleged his wife had given his Audi to her boyfriend, who had crashed it.
Vijaylakshmi and the security guard of the apartment where she lives in Bangalore, have complained to the police that Darshan had abused them on Wednesday.
Vijaylakshmi denied the charge and said there was no boyfriend on the picture. She said the Audi was being used only to drop their son to school while she herself drove an I-10.
She said after she moved out to live separately a year and seven months ago, she had been facing similar harassment from Darshan.
Acting on her complaint the police have summoned Darshan to appear before them for questioning.
Signs also emerged on Thursday that the couple may give one more shot at saving their marriage. Darshan has reportedly told the state women's commission, which has taken note of the incident, that he would try to resolve differences with his wife.
Vijaylakshmi also said did not want to do anything to harm D's image or career. She said her priority was to ensure that their son grew up in a good environment.
Minister and senior actor Ambareesh also stepped in to say he had spoken to Darshan and would try to sort out the matter.
Though son of a popular character actor Toogudeepa Shrinivas, Darshan struggled for a long till making it big. Son of a famous but not wealthy actor, Darshan sold milk in Mysore after dropping out of studies. He also entered the Kannada film industry as an assistant to a camera man.
He and Vijaylakshmi fell in in love and married during his struggling days. The marriage ironically came under strain after he became rich and famous allegedly due to his link ups with several actresses.
