Raghubir Yadav’s wife of 32 years, Purnima Kharga, earlier this week approached the Bandra family court in Bombay to seek divorce from him, alleging adultery and desertion. She has sought an interim maintenance of Rs. 1 lakh and a final alimony of Rs. 10 crore. Raghubir has a 30-year-old son who lives with his mother.
Raghubir (70) and Purnima (60) have been estranged since 1995 and are fighting a matrimonial dispute. In 1996, Raghubir filed for divorce in Jabalpur. The divorce petition was transferred to Delhi where Purnima was staying, but it was later withdrawn.
Purnima, in her divorce petition, has made Raghubir’s partner and manager, Roshni Archeja, a party.
