Bangalore, Sep 11: The Kannada Film Producers' Association banned actress Nikitha Thukral from acting in regional films for three years for allegedly creating marital discord in actor Darshan's family.

"Since Darshan's wife has made a complaint naming her (Nikitha) as being responsible for the storm in her marital life, we decided to ban the actress for three years," KFPA president Munirathna Naidu said.

Reacting to the ban, Nikitha said she was hurt with the KFPA's decision and demanded a proof of her relationship with Darshan.

"I don't have any relationship with Darshan. His wife is my good friend," she said.

The actress also said she would speak to Darshan's wife and seek an explanation on why she had mentioned her name in the police complaint.

Naidu said the decision pertains only to the producers association and not the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce.

Darshan was arrested on Sept 9 and sent to 14-day judicial custody for allegedly assaulting his wife and threatening her and their young child with his licensed revolver.
