Kannada film industry is in shock as star hero Darshan has been arrested for the brutal murder of his fan Renukashwami. In a shocking turn of events, Darshan, driven by his relationship with actress Pavithra Gowda, committed the crime and is now behind bars. Bengaluru police have arrested a total of 19 people, including Darshan and Pavithra Gowda, in connection with this case.
The public and the film fraternity are demanding justice for Renukashwami’s wife and severe punishment for the culprits. Darshan’s close relationship with Pavithra Gowda, despite being married to Vijayalakshmi, seems to be the main reason behind the crime. For the past ten years, Darshan has been in a close relationship with Pavithra. Recently, there were major public spats on social media between Pavithra and Vijayalakshmi.
The fan, Renukashwami, started sending obscene messages and trolling Pavithra on social media, leading Darshan to kidnap and murder him. Amidst this controversy, Pavithra Gowda's name has been buzzing online. People are questioning how a middle-class girl with no film background, the daughter of a small grocery store owner, became a millionaire.
Pavithra Gowda comes from a middle-class family. Her father owns a grocery store. She completed her BCA degree at Bishop Cotton College and pursued a degree in system designing before entering the film industry due to her passion for acting. Pavithra appeared in several jewelry store advertisements and was crowned Miss Bangalore in the modeling world. She started her career with TV serials and later appeared as a lead actress in two films before distancing herself from the industry.
Her recognition in the Kannada industry was primarily due to her association with Darshan. Pavithra was previously married to an ordinary man named Sanjay Singh, with whom she had a daughter. After her divorce, she was alone for some time until she met Darshan. Their friendship blossomed into love, leading to a live-in relationship.
Pavithra's luxurious lifestyle and sudden rise to wealth are attributed to her relationship with Darshan. Reports suggest that Darshan gifted her a three-story house in RR Nagar and a luxury car, leading to public spats with his wife Vijayalakshmi over social media. Darshan's extravagant gifts to Pavithra include the same model car he had gifted his wife and the house she lives in.
