He loves liquor more than me: Vanitha

She alleged that Peter used to leave home fully drunk and was asking people for money for drinking. Some of the people from the cinema industry called her up and asked what was going on in their life and she asked Peter to stop his way of living.

She said that with his consent she even kept a tracker in his phone, but still things did not improve. She alleged that he lived only on alcohol for a week and did not even take food. One day he left home at 4 am and after several hours, his assistant only brought him home. Thinking that he could not handle the stress of trolls and allegations on social media, they planned a trip to Goa.

“He fully knows how well I took care of him, but it seems he loves liquor more than me," said Vanitha in the tearful video.
