Raghubir Yadav told to pay alimony to estranged wife
31.12.69
Renowned actor Raghubir Yadav, who depicted the poor and deprived farmer’s character in
Peepli Live, presents a contrast in real life. Observing that Yadav earns handsomely at Rs 1.25 lakh per month, a city court has ordered him to pay a monthly alimony of Rs 40,000 to his estranged wife. The court said that successes of his recent movies
Peepli Live and
Gandhi to Hitler indicate he is doing well in commercial cinema and his contention that he earns Rs 2.26 lakh per annum is totally unbelievable.
Metropolitan Magistrate Sunena Sharma, while directing Yadav to pay a monthly alimony of Rs 40,000 to his wife from the date of its present order till the pendency of the case, said, “Having regard to the fact that respondent (Yadav) is a renowned actor of art films, TV serials and theatre and is doing well in commercial cinema after the success of his two latest hits Peepli Live and Gandhi to Hitler, I presume his average monthly income will not be less than Rs 1.25 lakh per month.”
