Indian entrepreneur Prasanna, co-founder of the $10 billion company Rippling, has disclosed that his wife, Dhivya, has been having an affair with a married man.
Prasanna said he knew this after the wife of the man contacted him and provided chats between Dhivya and her husband.
In a viral social media post, Prasanna alleged that he is currently in hiding outside Tamil Nadu, claiming that Chennai police are pursuing him based on false allegations made by his estranged wife, Dhivya.
The couple, married for ten years, share a nine-year-old son.
Prasanna disclosed that Dhivya had been carrying on with the married man, named Anoop, for at least six months before he got wind of it.
He stated that Anoop’s wife provided evidence, including messages and hotel booking details to substantiate her claims.
He thereafter confronted his wife and their union suffered a massive blow leading up to the two of them negotiating financial settlements for their divorce.
Prasanna claims that Dhivya was dissatisfied with the terms and filed false police complaints against him, accusing him of physical abuse and rape—allegations that he says were investigated and dismissed as baseless by Singaporean authorities.
A major point of contention in the divorce proceedings has been the custody of their son.
Prasanna alleges that Dhivya abducted the child and took him to the U.S. to strengthen her legal case. In response, he filed an international child abduction complaint, and a U.S. judge ruled in his favour, ordering the child’s return to India.
As part of their legal settlement, they signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) granting 50/50 custody and requiring Dhivya to deposit their son’s passport in a common locker to prevent further abduction attempts.
However, Prasanna claims that she refused to comply and instead announced plans to challenge the agreement and refile for divorce in the U.S.
