Sapthami files defamation case after being named in Yuva-Sridevi divorce petition

There has been a twist in the case surrounding the divorce spat between Kannada actor Yuva Rajkumar and his wife Sridevi Byrappa. In a lengthy petition, Sridevi had accused Yuva of being in a relationship with his co-star Sapthami Gowda. In her reaction, Sapthami has now moved court against her with a defamation case for mentioning her name in the petition, seeking Rs 10 crore in damages.She has also sought a public apology from Sridevi. Submitting the plea, Sapthami is said to have told the Court that she has nothing to do with Yuva besides being his co-star in his film, and that her name was dragged into the case for no fault of hers. The City Civil court has now sent notice to Sridevi, taking cognisance of Sapthami’s petition.
