Dilip, Manju Warrier divorced

A family court in Kochi on Saturday allowed the mutual divorce plea of Dileep and Manju Warrier. Living estranged, the couple had approached the family court in Kochi in July last to end their 16 years of married life.

They moved a joint divorce petition and subsequently had undergone all mandatory proceedings before taking a final decision to pull apart for ever. On January 29, they had completed all formalities associated with their divorce petition and have been waiting for an official stamp, which came on Saturday. The court had also conducted another round of counseling for the estrange couple as a last minute effort. But, both had stuck to their earlier deliberated decision.

They have a daughter named Meenakshi. Manju Warrier had told the court that she had no objection to allow their daughter to live with Dileep. In turn, Manju would be free to meet her daughter at any time.

Dileep is one of the prominent actors in Malayalam film industry. Manju too had a strong presence before her marriage in 1998. Post-marriage, she left the tinsel world and last year, she made a comeback both in film. In her second coming to the film industry, she had also acted in a few promotional advertisements.
