Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jesia
Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jesia had separated a while ago. The duo has two teenage daughters, Mahikaa (17) and Myra (13). Now, Arjun and Mehr have been granted a divorce. Rumours about their separation first made headlines in 2011, and they spent several months working on the separation before filing for divorce in a court of law.
As reported by Mumbai Mirror, the principal judge Shailaja Sawant granted the couple divorce under the Special Marriage Act, and it also stated that Mahikaa and Myra will reside with their mother in Bandra. "After a petition for divorce by mutual consent is filed, their plea is scrutinised, registered and then, the couple is referred to a marriage counsellor to attempt a reconciliation. If that fails, the couple is given six more months to work things out. Six months later, if they are resolute in their decision to part ways and have complied with the terms of divorce mutually agreed to between them, a court draws up a decree of divorce," the publication quoted a court official as saying.
