The director, Ajit Singh Yadav, tied the knot with his wife, Suman, after he fell in love with her seven years ago.
“Initially their lives were peaceful, but after a while the violence started. With the repeated violence, Ajit Singh suffered several injuries and was getting medical treatment,” the agency says.
Singh says he can no longer stand his wife’s violence and has gone to court because his wife “crossed all limits”.
