The divorce petition of yesteryear heroine Saritha and her husband Mukesh has been deferred to 21st September.

Married in 1987, Mukesh, a popular actor in Malayalam, and Saritha had been living separately for sometime now. The couple has two sons who are 20 and 17. About 10 years back, the couple had difference of opinion and Saritha called for the separation leading to divorce, which is still pending on the bench of honorary court in Chennai.

The family court as per the formalities ordered a 6 month separation period and ordered the couple for counseling. The counseling seemed to have fallen in deaf ears and the couple was hell-bent on the divorce. As a result of which the judge who has taken up the case has deferred the hearing date to September 21st.
