Producer Madhu Mantena And Designer Masaba Gupta Head To Court For A Divorce
Updated : March 15, 2019 01:31 PM ISTAfter 3 years of their marriage, Producer Madhu Mantena and celebrity designer Masaba Gupta today attended the court proceedings for their divorce at Bandra's Family Court.
The now estranged couple have been living separately since their public declaration of trial separation on August 25th, 2018.
"In an amicable dissolution of their marriage, both Madhu and Masaba presented a dignified appeal in court. Masaba refrained from exerting her rights for alimony provision.", said a source present in the court proceedings.
In 2018, the power couple took to social media to share a joint statement announcing the mutual separation.
Masaba shared on Instagram, "With a lot of sadness, Madhu and I have today decided to go on a trial separation in our marriage. Both of us have taken this decision in consultation with professionals and our parents."
"The only thing we are ready to say for now is that 'What we both want of life individually and separately is putting unnecessary pressure on the marriage and love that we share. Hence, we would like to take some time off from our marriage to figure out for ourselves what we want out of this life," her post read.
The joint statement from the couple went on to read, "We are not strong enough to explain ourselves to even friends who deserve an answer from us.... All we can say to them is to give us time and to give us love when we reach out to you. We now need a lot of it :)"
Ever since the public announcement, both Madhu and Mantena have been cordial to each other and continue to be friends. While Masaba has moved on to expand her horizons as a designer by multiplying her flagship store pan India, Madhu has been channeling his energy into mega projects like Hrithik Roshan starrer Super 30, Ranveer Singh starrer 83' and the most expensive film being made in India 'Ramayana'.
