Actress wife denying marital rights: MP in social media clip

- AKSHAYA KUMAR SAHOO

Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Lok Sabha member from Kendrapara Anubhav Mohanty continues to wash his dirty linen in public.

The actor-turned-politician, who had released a video a few days ago claiming that his decision to marry a leading Ollywood actress Varsha Priyadarsh­ini was a “great mistake,” has posted another clip on social media elaboratin­g his strained relationsh­ip with the actress.

Holding Varsha responsibl­e for the marital dispute between them, Mr Mohanty accused her of denying him the conjugal rights he deserved for years.

“I was the first one to file a petition for divorce.

My only reason for filing the divorce as cited in the petition was non-consummati­on of marriage. Even after 8 years of marriage, my life partner didn’t give me the rights that I deserve as a husband,” said Mr Mohanty.

The lawmaker went on to add, “When we got married in 2014, she had said that since childhood she feared any kind of physical relationsh­ip. She requested me to give her some time to accept me as her husband mentally as well as physically.”

“I was utterly surprised after listening to such a request. How is it possible to make such a demand when a boy and girl are in love for such a long time? How is it possible to stay away from such a dignified and honoured relationsh­ip? Relationsh­ip between a husband and wife is highly sacred and pure,” he added.

Earlier, on May 19, Mr Mohanty had released a video on social media in which he broke down and poured his heart out over his “failed” marriage with the actress. Without taking any name, the actor-turned-politician said choosing a life partner was the only mistake he had committed that ruined his life.
