Kannada film fans are stunned over the arrest of superstar Darshan Thogudeepa in a murder case that has also brought the co-accused Pavithra Gowda, an actor and fashion designer, to the limelight. Pavithra, a close friend of Darshan for over 10 years, regularly shares photos and videos on social media with the actor. Pavithra and Darshan’s wife Vijayalakshmi have engaged in a battle on social media over these posts.
Sandalwood and Kannada movie lovers learnt about Darshan and Pavithra’s relationship when the latter replaced her profile picture with a photo of the superstar on Facebook and Instagram in 2017. Soon enough, Pavithra became a target of Darshan’s fans, following which she deleted the photos. The issue resurfaced in January this year when Pavithra shared intimate moments with Darshan as an Instagram reel.
The reel, celebrating 10 years of their relationship, was captioned, “One decade down; forever to go.” The reel was in response to a photo posted on Instagram by Vijayalakshmi which showed her with Darshan and their son. A post shared by Pavithra Gowda (@pavithragowda777_official) Vijayalakshmi hit back by posting an old photo of Pavithra with her husband Sanjay Singh and daughter Kushi Gowda.
In the Instagram story, Vijayalakshmi said, “I hope this woman comes to her senses before posting a photo with somebody else’s husband. It talks about her character. Despite knowing the man is married, she still chooses to come and stay for her own personal need.
