In an interesting twist of events, Rhea has said that
Leander got a new passport issued in 2014 in the US claiming that he had lost
his passport in March 2014 whilw he was in the States.
The new passport issued in 2014 knocked of Rhea’s name
from the column of the spouse!

As part of the pleadings, Rhea has also submitted evidence in the nature
of Bank statements, receipts and payment slips to Court to show that the money
spent from her bank accounts on the shared household and the amounts borrowed
by Leander from her all run into crores and till date has not been returned.
It turns out, according to Rhea, that Leander
conveniently made her pay for the shared household and their daughter Aiyana's
medical and educational expenses and has also borrowed money from Rhea for his
own expenses.
Leander Paes in his reply filed before the Magistrate’s
court hearing the Domestic Violence matter has stated that he has very meagre
savings

For those who've come in late, SpotboyE.com ran a big
story 5 days ago breaking the news how Rhea had gone bankrupt in paying Aiyana's medical bills (who was diagnosed with brain tumour last year)
because Leander's contribution in that regard was not enough.
When contacted Rhea’s lawyer Ms. Amna Usman from the Chambers of Mr. Mahesh
Jethmalani confirmed the filing of the above documents on behalf of Rhea and
only added, “The matter is subjudice hence it will not be appropriate to
comment much on it. Let the evidence on record speak for itself.”
