The duo tied the knot in 1988 but their marital life went on a rocky road after seven years of marriage. Purnima has now filed a divorce at the Bandra Family Court after 32 years of marriage demanding an alimony of 10 crore INR and a maintenance of 1 lakh INR every month.
According to various online reports, she has also accused him of adultery and desertion. She claimed that she quit her career as an international Kathak dancer to support Raghubir during his struggling period in the industry. On the other hand, he deserted her for other women after becoming a successful actor.
Also in a tell all interview with SpotboyE, Poornima has also accused the Lagaan actor of having an affair with acclaimed director Nandita Das.
Purnima claimed that Raghubir Yadav had an affair with Nandita while being married to her. She said that Yadav was working in Raj Barot’s serial when he ‘fell in love’ with Nandita Das. She further added, “Raghu took Nandita to his parents in Jabalpur and filed for divorce. Apparently, he wanted to marry Nandita however Nandita left him, she told him one day that she's fallen in love with someone else. Besides, many people had started telling Nandita that she should not settle down with Raghubir as it would be only messy.”
Purnima has spoken at length about her broken marriage and what led to divorce.
Purnima said, “Raghubir is currently living-in with Sanjay Mishra’s wife Roshni Achreja. He himself has admitted in Court. They have a 14-year old son. Things started going wrong after seven years of our shaadi."
While talking about how Raghubir got in a relationship with Roshni, Purnima added that Raghubir and Sanjay Mishra were staying in the same building. Raghbir started getting friendly with Sanjay’s wife, Roshni and she got pregnant with Raghubir and told Sanjay that she wanted to divorce him.
Well, it's indeed a messy one, however, Nandita and Raghubir have not reacted yet to the allegations of Purnima.
