The things revealed by first wife and actress Saritha against actor Mukesh is now gaining attention. I had faced a lot of domestic violence. Saritha said that she did not approach the police because of the word given to Mukesh's father.
Her words ‘I am ashamed to say what I had experienced. I couldn't believe what was happening to me. I have acted in movies.
I have seen all this in films. I never thought all that would happen in life. When people from media call me after knowing what I went through, I used to deny it to them.
I was embarrassed to tell anyone about this. During Onam time, we pretend to be happy and take photos to let everyone know everything is fine. With these family problems, he was into several relationships.
I just hoped that he would realize that it was wrong and come back. Once when I was pregnant, he kicked me on my stomach and then I fell into the yard. I cried when I fell.
On such incidents, he used to say ‘oh.. you are a good actress.
. cry..
. cry’. He would always do something to hurt me.
Once when I was nine months pregnant, we went out for dinner. When I tried to get into the car, he kept tricking me by moving the car forwards and backwards. I ran behind the car and fell down.
Though I cried sitting there, I tried my best not to make him see my tears. If he sees me crying, he used to ridicule me. Once, when he came home drunk at midnight, I asked him why so late, a question asked by everybody.
He then caught my hair and dragged me on the floor and then beat me. Saritha's reply was that she did not approach the police despite all that had happened because she had given a word to Mukesh's father. I kept my promise until he died.
Once when he attacked me in front of his maids, I stopped going to Mukesh’s house. Once when his father came to Thiruvananthapuram for tax matters, his father came to pick me. His father told me at the airport 'let’s go home'.
I said I'm not coming and that have taken a room in Pankaj Hotel. He did not utter a word in front of the driver and then came to my room. He then held my hands and said I know what you are going through.
I know that my son is not right, but this should not come in the media. I kept that promise till today. I am breaking this today because my silence was misunderstood.
No one knew what had happened, added Saritha..
