In the last three-and-a-half years since they have been married, it possibly dawned on Srija that Sirish was not all that she had thought he was. (BCCL)

"Sirish was never acceptable to Chiranjeevi, though he made it clear that Srija was always welcome home," a producer close to Chiranjeevi said. (BCCL)

Srija was first seen back at her parents' home when Chiranjeevi's father passed away towards the end of 2007. The visits home became more frequent in recent times with Srija even attending public functions with her parents. But Sirish was nowhere to be seen at any of these events. (BCCL)

Film industry sources said Srija was counselled by her relatives who told her how much her father and family cared for her and by falling for Sirish, she had caused them much anguish. (BCCL)

"More than counselling, it would be appropriate to call it brainwashing. What is surprising is that we thought the marriage would last for not more than three weeks but it did for more than three years. About dowry harassment I do not know, but what is to be shown to the world is that Srija has got back to her parents, walking out on Sirish," a film producer, known to be a critic of Chiranjeevi, alleged.
