Kannada television actress Kavya Gowda’s husband, Somashekar was allegedly stabbed by relatives, according to reports.

As per reports, the disturbing incident took place at the family’s residence following a heated dispute among close family members.

What reportedly started as a verbal argument soon escalated into a physical confrontation. During the clash, Somashekar was allegedly attacked with a sharp object, resulting in stab injuries.

He was immediately taken to a private hospital for medical attention and is currently undergoing treatment. Doctors have reportedly confirmed that his condition is stable and that the injuries are not life-threatening.

The incident has triggered widespread concern and discussion, once again highlighting the issue of escalating domestic disputes within families.

Disputes over household responsibilities and matters related to the upbringing and care of Kavya Gowda and Somashekar’s young daughter are said to have contributed to the growing tension.
