The otherwise calm and quiet Malayalam industry tabloids are on a continuous run for the past few weeks. Among the top headlines were some unexpected affairs, weddings, divorces and an actress’ abduction. Among the celebrities who topped headlines, Dileep seems to have been at the receiving end.
Post his controversial affair and wedding with co-star Kavya Madhavan, Dileep has been a talk of the town. In recent weeks, rumours of him being involved in the kidnapping of popular Malayalam actress left the industry hocked and distressed. The actress recently revealed that there was a bigger conspiracy behind her abduction and alleged molestation. The rumours were quiet strong post the interview where reports hinted at Dileep’s involvement.
His divorce with Malayalam star Manju Warrier and sudden wedding with Kavya made him a victim of online abuse. However, this time he decided to shut the rumours and in a exclusive interview with Manorama Online, he made some candid confessions.
“I knew her father. He was a very nice man and I knew their family circumstances. So I used to suggest her name to filmmakers for my films,” he said and also that the duo had a fallout post which he stopped recommending her name to the filmmakers. He added that he even thought of committing suicide as he felt extremely harassed by the rumours.
Expressing his anger at the rumours he said,”Everyone knows I don’t react, that’s why they’ve been doing this. Leave me alone because from now on, I will respond. If I start talking, it will create a lot of trouble. Leave my personal life alone and I will leave yours alone.”
The Malayalam dismissed the rumours and blamed the media for making it all up.
Now, that’s quite an explosive chat!
