Pavithra Gowda, a Kannada actress and fashion designer, has been in the spotlight due to her connection with actor Darshan Thoogudeepa. She has appeared in films like “Chatrigalu Saar Chatrigalu,” “Agamya,” and “Preethi Kithabu.”

In 2016, she debuted her Kollywood with the movie “54321.” Besides acting, Pavithra manages her boutique, Red Carpet Studio 777, specializing in traditional sarees and outfits. Earlier this year, she shared an Instagram video celebrating “10 years of our relationship” with Darshan. 

However, Darshan has been married to Vijaya Lakshmi for over two decades. The tragic incident involving Pavithra is related to the murder of Renuka Swamy, who allegedly posted offensive comments about her on social media. 

These interactions are being considered as potential reasons for the crime. In total, 13 people, including Darshan Thoogudeepa and Pavithra Gowda, have been arrested in connection with the case.
