In July 2022, Naresh was attacked by his ex-wife, Ramya Raghupathi, at a hotel in Mysore, where he was accompanied by his rumoured girlfriend, Pavitra Lokesh. As soon as Ramya reached the hotel and noticed Naresh with Pavitra, she tried to hit them with her slippers. Naresh and Pavitra were provided police protection while stepping out of the hotel. While addressing the media reporters, Naresh claimed that Ramya, along with her rumoured boyfriend Rakesh Reddy was trying to blackmail him after he sent Ramya a divorce notice. As per sources, Pavitra filed a complaint against Ramya at the Mysuru police station and accused her of stalking and cyber harassment. In an interview, on being asked about Ramya's accusations after she caught her with Naresh at the hotel in Mysore, Pavitra replied,
I am not new to Telugu people or the industry. I needn’t explain my relationship with Naresh. To defame me out of her interests is something very upsetting. I felt like why this is happening to me. She is making me the victim and this is not correct. She should settle scores within the family."
On the other hand, Ramya, while addressing the media, talked about her husband's affair with Pavitra and said,
They claimed that they are best friends but stayed together in a single room all night. I am here raising concern over my son’s future and protecting his interests. I come from a proper Hindu family and I don’t like to get separated from my husband.”Relationships & MoreMarital StatusMarriedAffairs/GirlfriendsPavitra Lokesh (actress) (2022-present)
