Vani Ganapathy reacts to ex-husband, Kamal Haasan’s claims on their divorce causing him financial ruin
For the unversed, Kamal Haasan and Vani Ganapathy chose to stay mum about their divorce, as they ended things on an amicable note. But things turned bitter when, in 2015, Kamal Haasan highlighted that his divorce with Vani pushed him to the brink of monetary and financial ruin. And in an interaction with Deccan Chronicle, Vani cleared her stance on the same and mentioned:
“He even declined to provide me with used appliances from our shared flat. What should I have expected from a man like that? In what legal system in the world has alimony ever driven someone to bankruptcy? I was completely taken aback when I read that. Perhaps his ego was wounded when I ended the marriage, but so much has transpired since then. He could have simply mentioned a financial crisis and moved on from the topic.”
