Tora’s wife files for divorce

JAKARTA: Although his wife has filed for divorce, actor and comedian Tora Sudiro is optimistic the lawsuit could end in a re-conciliation.

“We are still in the mediation process, we are trying to be together again. As to whether we will divorce or not, we will talk about it,” Tora was quoted as saying by okezone.com after the first court hearing at the Depok Religious Court on Wednesday.

Tora, who won a Citra award for best actor at the 2004 Indonesian Film Festival (FFI), said, however, that divorce might turn out to be the best solution.

“We are looking for the best solution through these hearings,” said the 35-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Taura Danang Sudiro.

Tora’s wife, Anggraini Kadiman, also confirmed the possibility of a reconciliation. “We are still looking at that possibility,” said the woman who has two children with Tora.

A second hearing is scheduled for Nov. 24, with mediation as the agenda.
