Kiccha Sudeep, a well-known Kannada actor married Priya on October 18, 2001. Over the years they have shown their dedication to each other and their family despite facing significant challenges. But did you know once this adorable couple applied for divorce?
In 2015, their marriage hit a rough patch leading them to file for divorce by mutual consent. They had been living apart for over four years before taking this step. Despite their separation, they continued to attend public events together keeping their struggles private.
In an interview at the time, Sudeep shared his uncertainty about the future saying, “There will be misunderstandings in every relationship. If there is a misunderstanding in marriage, it reaches this situation. I don’t know if everything will be alright, I cannot be an astrologer to predict what can happen.” Despite these challenges, he agreed not to contest the custody of their daughter Sanvi showing his commitment to his family’s well-being. The divorce proceedings could have cost Sudeep a substantial amount of money, around Rs. 19 crore, but fortunately, they did not finalize the divorce.

Over time, the couple decided to give their relationship another chance, primarily for the sake of their daughter. They never appeared in court to finalize the divorce and eventually reconciled. Last year, they celebrated their wedding anniversary on the set of “Bigg Boss Kannada” Season 7, symbolizing their renewed commitment to each other.
In an interview, Sudeep spoke about how the separation affected his relationship with his daughter. He said, “Earlier, I would try to be around for her as much as I could, but I still missed out on important moments of her life. Now that she is not with me anymore, I try twice, thrice as hard because I know how losing such precious time feels like. It hurts not to be around her, but it’s all for the best.”
Through all their ups and downs, Sudeep and Priya have always respected each other’s feelings and personal lives. Their journey has shown that with time and effort, relationships can heal and grow stronger.
