Old Photo Of Rippling’s Prasanna Sankar, Estranged Wife And Sam Altman Surfaces Amidst Court War
The now-surfaced post read: "Super inspiring to meet @sama for dinner tonight at our place. @dhivsash and I loved the conversation."
During a contentious court battle, an old photo including Rippling’s Prasanna Sankar, his estranged wife Dhivya Sashidhar, and Sam Altman has resurfaced on X. The photo, which was taken in November 2021, is resurfacing now after Sankar went public accusing Sashidhar of cheating and making false police reports.
The resurfaced post read: “Super inspiring to meet @sama for dinner tonight at our place. @dhivsash and I loved the conversation.”
In a series of tweets on X, Prasanna Sankar alleged that his wife, Dhivya, has been having an affair with a married man named Anoop for more than six months. He had stated that he found out about the relationship after getting screenshots of their chats from Anoop’s wife.
Apart from the allegations of infidelity, Sankar told that after they started negotiating for their divorce, Dhivya made several false reports against him, such as domestic violence and rape. He claimed that the Singaporean authorities investigated the incidents and acquitted him of all suspicion.
Sankar also accused Dhivya of kidnapping their 9-year-old son in spite of a court decision in his favour. He complained that she removed the child to the U.S., and thus he lodged a case of international child abduction. “The judge decided in my favour, granting an order to return the child,” he claimed.
