Who doesn't remember B.R. Chopra's Mahabharat and the trend it created back in the 1980s? Nitish Bharadwaj, who played Lord Krishna in Mahabharat, is currently headlining the Bollywood news, and the reason is his controversial divorce from his wife, Smita Gate. The actor has now filed a complaint against his estranged wife for mental harassment.

It all started after Smita Gate abducted their two twin daughters and did not allow Nitish Bharadwaj to meet them. On Wednesday, the TV actor submitted a written complaint to the Bhopal Police Commissioner, Harinarayaran Chari Mishra.

Following his complaint, a probe has already been initiated.
