Kannada Actor Duniya Vijay Loses Marriage, Must Transfer 2 Crore to Ex‑Wife

In a landmark verdict, the Karnataka High Court has sanctioned the divorce of Duniya Vijay, a prominent figure in the Kannada film industry, and his wife Nagratna. The bench, comprising Justices D.K. Singh and H. Shantibhushan, mandated a lump‑sum payment of INR 2 crore to Nagratna as alimony. The court’s ruling took into account the couple’s three children, Nagratna’s living conditions, and Vijay’s substantial income derived from his multifaceted roles in cinema. Earlier proceedings saw a family court dismiss Vijay’s petition due to unsubstantiated cruelty allegations. The high court’s order stipulates that the payment be completed within two months, with an added interest rate of 6% per annum if the deadline is missed.
