Renowned Kannada actor Yuva Rajkumar has filed for divorce from his wife Sridevi Byrappa after five years of their marriage. The petition was filed on June 6, 2024, at a family court, as confirmed by various sources. This development comes as a shock to many, considering the couple's long-standing relationship that spanned over a decade before their marriage.

Yuva Rajkumar, a prominent figure in the Kannada film industry and the son of acclaimed actor Raghavendra Rajkumar, has been in the spotlight for much of his life. His grandfather, the legendary Dr. Rajkumar, is a revered name in Indian cinema, which adds a layer of public interest to Yuva's personal life. The actor, who was initially known as Guru, has cultivated a strong fan base over the years, making this personal news all the more significant for his followers.

The couple's relationship has been a subject of admiration and curiosity for many. They were known to have shared a deep friendship for over seven years before tying the knot in May 2019. Their wedding was a grand affair, attended by notable personalities from the Indian film industry, including stars like Chiranjeevi from Telugu cinema and Rashmika Mandanna. The wedding, held with much fanfare, was seen as a union blessed by the stars, quite literally.

However, despite the glamorous wedding and seemingly strong bond, it appears that the couple has been living separately for over a year now. This separation became public during the premiere of Yuva Rajkumar's debut movie, "Yuva," back in March. Sridevi's absence at such a significant event raised eyebrows and led to speculation about the state of their marriage.
