Actress Arzoo Govitrikar, who is known for the TV show Naagin 2 who is known for the TV show Naagin 2 and the movie Baghban, has filed for divorce from her husband Siddharth Sabharwal.
Arzoo had filed a case of domestic violence against her husband in 2019 and in the same, she had claimed that Siddharth had dragged her into a bathroom at 4 am and hit her badly. She has now taken the legal route as reconciliation doesn’t seem possible with Siddharth.
“Yes, I have filed for divorce,” she told a leading daily. “Enough is enough and I am not going to take this lying down anymore. I swallowed my pride; I tried, and I tried my best. But matters came to a head and I couldn’t continue with Siddharth. I had so far not spoken in the media, not even when I was hounded by calls from journalists two years ago. But I will talk today. I want to tell you that he has pulled me by my neck and tried to throw me out of the flat. He has slapped me. He has kicked me in my stomach. There were days when I was beaten up black and blue and I couldn’t come out because I didn’t want my bruises to be seen.”

She also said that she found out that Siddharth had a Russian girlfriend and that they used to keep chatting. She said that she has those chats and the CCTV footages of physical violence Siddharth did on her as proofs. She had also asked him to sort out things once but he became more aggressive post that.
