On May 3, 2014, Leander Paes went to the court for seeking the custody of his child Aiyana. The shocking thing that came out after this incident was that Rhea and Leander were never married, and were in a live-in relationship for the past 8 years. In his custody petition, Leander claims that Rhea is not a good mother and that he is concerned about his daughter well being and safety. Paes also mentioned, ”incidents, hasty nature and irresponsible behavior, lack of personal maternal supervision, bad temper and self indulgence created insecurity in the mind of child and it was detrimental to a healthy upbringing,” as this is the reason he wanted to take sole custody. He also sought for the custody to control Rhea from taking Aiyana, out of Mumbai.
