Open conflict between Arnav and Divya
According to reports, Arnav and Divya Sridhar met in 2017 on the sets of Keladi Kanmani. Divya was divorced and had a one-year-old daughter at the time.

Divya purchased the apartment with her jewelry and cash. They decided to take their relationship to the next level by getting married. For this, Arnav asked Divya to convert to his community before marrying him. She did, and the couple married in a private ceremony in 2022, following Islamic rituals. While shooting for the TV show Chellamma in 2022, Arnav struck up a great friendship with co-actress Anshitha Akbarsha. The two are reportedly dating. This dissatisfied Divya and asked Arnav to accept her openly. The couple then remarried as per Hindu rituals. Problems between them started to escalate when Divya became pregnant with Arnav’s child. In October 2022, she filed a complaint of abuse, harassment and extramarital affairs against Arnav. Thereafter, Arnav was summoned by the police and detained. An FIR was registered against him for harassing and abusing his wife. In the Madras HC, Arnav sought to quash the FIR registered against him by Divya, but the plea was dismissed due to evidence of multiple injury marks on Divya’s body. Furthermore, Divya also accused Arnav of cheating her of 36 points; 26 cash and 13 gold jewellery. She claimed he had engaged in similar behavior with other women in the past. She even accused him of pretending to be gay to deceive men. According to her, Arnav married a transgender man in Malaysia to snatch money from him. Not only that, she also said that Arnav kicked her in the stomach multiple times in an attempt to kill the child. She keeps posting evidence on her social media accounts.
