Chennai: A day after moving a
family court in Chennai
to restore her
conjugal rights
, actor
Rambha on Wednesday filed a maintenance petition in the same court under the provision of
Hindu Marriage Act
. She has sought 1.5 lakh for herself and 50,000 each for her two minor daughters for their upkeep on a monthly basis.
According to the petition, Rambha had been acting in movies before her marriage and she has no source of income now.
"After marriage I have more or less stopped acting in movies. I don't have sufficient income to maintain myself and my two children," the petition said.
While Rambha's elder daughter
Laanya
is studying at a private school, where the fee is 3.5 lakh per annum, her younger daughter Sasha, aged one-and-a-half years, required regular medical treatment. So Rambha required 2.5 lakh to maintain herself and her two minor children, it said.
Her estranged husband P Indrakumar, who is the owner of a factory in Canada, was "duty bound to protect Rambha," said the petition.
