‘Bigg Boss’ season 1 contestant Bobby Darling aka Pakhi Sharma who got married to a Bhopal-based businessman, Ramneek Sharma in 2016, has reportedly filed for divorce in Mumbai. But, Bobby’s husband has questioned the validity of the wedding under the Hindu Marriage Act.
Bobby moved a family court in Bandra seeking divorce with her husband on the grounds of domestic violence.
Bobby Darling, born Pankaj Sharma, has sought dissolution of her marriage and also cancellation of an October 2016 gift deed of a flat in Oshiwara and Rs 2 crore in alimony, before the family court at Bandra.
However, her husband had claimed that the marriage itself is “void” under the Hindu Marriage Act. He maintains that HMA recognizes a marriage to be valid only between a man and woman.
Bobby Darling files for divorce
Bobby had undergone a sex reassignment surgery in November 2015 and then changed her name to Pakhi Sharma before her marriage in February 2016. The marriage was performed according to Hindu rituals in Bhopal.
In 2017, Bobby had accused her hubby of domestic violence and demanding dowry. She had filed a police complaint against him and had also alleged that Ramneek was physically violent towards his elder brother and mother as well.
Earlier in an interview, Bobby talked about her disturbing experience to BT and said, “Ramneek would beat me up after getting drunk and accuse me of having extramarital affairs with every second man. He also usurped my property and money. He made me give him co-ownership of my flat in Mumbai, and did the same when we bought our penthouse in Bhopal. He also bought a SUV using my money immediately after the marriage. Now, I am left with nothing. He had paid the building’s security guards to keep an eye on me, and they would inform him of all my moves. He kept a tab on who I spoke with and where I went. Tired of the constant bickering, I suggested that we get divorced with mutual consent, but on the condition that I would get my property and the car back. However, he didn’t agree to it. He would, in fact, beat me to because will in his name. I want my property back so that I can sell it off and move back to Mumbai.”
“I have faced a lot of domestic violence. I still can’t move my left hand freely and limp while walking. My speech is also slurred. I would cry like a child and pee in my clothes while pleading with him to stop hitting me.” she added.
