Chennai: Filmmaker Priyadarshan and yesteryear actress-turned-entrepreneur Lissy who were married for 24 years have decided to part ways.
According to a press statement released by Lissy “It is with profound sadness that I am announcing that I and Sri Priyadarshan have decided to separate after 24 years of marriage. I filed for divorce today in the Chennai family court. Both our children and close friends are aware of the decision. As you can imagine it is a very difficult period in our lives and I request all of you to respect our privacy.”
