Raghubir Yadav’s and his wife Purnima’s divorce-alimony case is getting murkier by the minute. The actor’s wife has claimed that he has not been able comply with her as far as the alimony amount is concerned. However, the veteran actor’s legal counsel has said that Purnima is asking for an unaffordable amount which is not feasible.
Purnima told a leading daily that Raghubir has harassed her as he has not been paying his monthly maintenance amount to her on time. She said, “Last year, there was a point where I was unpaid for 5 months. This delay in turn cost me my house in Yari Road. I couldn't pay the rent in time and had to face humiliation. Thereafter, I am living on loans. Also, I had to mortgage my gold. This year too, I went unpaid for 4 months. Two months before the date in court, I was given Rs 80,000 which was for 2 months. Raghubir has now even blocked our son’s number on his phone. Otherwise, they were in touch, off and on."

On the other hand, Raghubir’s lawyer told the daily, “There is no point making the war between Raghubir and Purnima ugly. Purnima is asking for an exorbitant amount, else my client would have settled it by now. Raghubir is 71 and Purnima should rather understand."
However, Purnima’s lawyer Ishika Tolani shot back and said that the actor has been doing exceedingly well on the professional front hence should have no qualms on paying the alimony. Tolani said, “My client has to bear the brunt of living such a hard life and Raghubir should pay up as per her expectations. Purnima has looked after their son as a mother and father both." Tolani’s associate Tooba Khan told the daily, “Raghubir has deserted his wife and child. We even tried the mediation process but it didn't work out."
