Mandana Karimi, who tied the knot with love of her life Gaurav Gupta in the month of January this year, has moved to court alleging domestic violence. She has filed a case against her husband and mother-in-law and has accused them of molesting her. Apparently, Gaurav does not approve of Mandana’s acting career and her mother-in-law is not accepting of her. In her interview with TOI, Mandana has revealed quite shocking bits of her failed marriage.
Informing that has been denied entry to her matrimonial house, Mandana claimed, “Honestly, I love my husband very much. I haven’t filed for divorce. I just want to tell him that you can’t take a marriage so lightly. You can’t manipulate and throw me out of the house. I am his wife and I don’t understand why he isn’t allowing me to enter my matrimonial house? I have been staying out of the house for almost 7 weeks. He recently told a common friend of ours that I don’t want Mandana in my life and I will file for divorce. If he wanted to divorce me within 6 months of our marriage why did he marry me.”
Talking about her mother-in-law harassing her, she said, “Yes, she was but I thought things will get better with time. I changed my religion. I accepted Hinduism and our wedding took place according to Hindu rituals. She only allowed us to get married as her son wanted to marry me. And now when she realised that her son is planning to move out of the house and separate the business she told Gaurav either you chose Mandana or her. My husband Gaurav, who doesn’t have a spine to chose, decided to stay with his mother. I always joked about evil mother-in-laws from Balaji’s daily soaps, but had never imagined that it will happen to me. She used to abuse and insult me.”
But the worse is yet to come. Mandana revealed how she had to seek help of police to enter the house. She said, “When things started becoming bad between us I told him Gaurav let’s sit and talk or go on a holiday. Let’s spend some time together so that we can sort out the differences, but he always refused giving excuses. I have no clothes, no money and I am staying in an apartment. They all have moved on in life. My husband is busy partying, my mother-in-law is ready to go on a holiday and I am here still trying to contact Gaurav. When I took police to his house they didn’t let me in. He didn’t allow me to enter even his office. He told one of his friends how dare she take police to my house.”
