Actor Kanaka hits back at her father

Actor Kanaka, who complained that her husband was missing, today hit back at her father for describing her as ''mentally deranged woman.'' Kanaka, daughter of popular yesteryear actress Devika, said her father was branding her as a ''mentally deranged woman'' with an eye on her property.

Alleging that her husband had been kidnapped by some people, who were trying to appropriate her properties, Kanaka said she was even willing to travel to the US in search of her ''missing'' husband Muthukumar.

Kanaka, who shot to fame after ''Karakattakaran,'' a box office hit in the early 1990s, had been staying away from limelight after her mother's death. She charged her father with harassing her mother and held him responsible for her mother's death.

Last week, the actor lodged a complaint at the Chennai Police Commissioner's Office that her husband Muthukumar was missing.

She alleged that her husband could have been kidnapped and her father Devadoss along with former friend ''Aavi'' Amudha were involved in the kidnapping with an eye on her property.

She said after her mother's death she was left in the lurch.

In 2004, she met Muthukumar and got married secretly in 2007, and lived happily for just 15 days after which he disappeared.

Kanaka also called on Muthukumar's parents at T Nagar recently and claimed that she spoke over phone to her husband from their house.
