Lodh, who is married to Bhatt's nephew Sumit Sabharwal, revealed that she has filed for divorce from her husband while imposing serious allegations that he supplies drugs. As of Monday, after her serious allegations, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and his brother Mukesh Bhatt filed a defamation suit in the Bombay High Court against Luviena Lodh for making defamatory, slanderous and false allegations on Bhatt.
