Dileep, Manju Warrier officially part ways

Kochi, Jan 29: After completing their divorce formalities, estranged Malayalam film star couple Dileep and Manju Warrier appeared before a family court Thursday to formalise their separation. All that now stands between them is the official order. It was on July 24th last year that the star couple, who after 16 years of marriage decided to call off their marriage, first appeared before the family court here and filed the joint divorce petition and according to the legal formalities, they had to wait for a period of six months, which ended Wednesday. On Thursday, both appeared before the judge along with their counsel and seemed gloomy. After half-an-hour they went their ways. Just before entering the car, Dileep told the waiting media that they will continue to be good friends. "After all she is the mother of our daughter," said Dileep. But Warrier did not say anything and her face looked sad and grim.
