Actor Bala arrested for defaming daughter, ex-wife

Kochi, Oct 14 2024-

Popular South Indian actor Bala was on Monday taken into custody from his house near here after being booked under the Juvenile Justice Act.

The 41-year-old actor and his wife had separated in 2019 after getting married in 2010. His ex-wife is a popular singer in TV shows.

Their marriage turned sour and since 2015 the two have been fighting even in the public.

The latest case against the actor was filed by his ex-wife at the Kadavanthara police station in Kochi on Saturday.

The police immediately registered a case for derogatory remarks against his ex-wife and their child and asked Bala to appear for questioning.

As he failed to present himself before the police, on Monday morning the police reached his home and took him into custody and later his arrest was recorded.

Meanwhile, the counsel for Bala said the entire episode is nothing but a conspiracy and they will go forward as per the law.

Even though they have separated, things flared up in the past few weeks between the two resulting in heated exchanges.

This started when their daughter posted a video on social media that Bala had been tormenting her. Bala, however, denied this and wrote on his social media account that it was “the most painful experience of his and he would not argue as a father who argues with his daughter is not a man”.

Bala hails from a hugely popular film family where his father and grandfather are prominent personalities and they own the Arunachala Studios.

His father, Jeyakumar, directed over 350 films and documentaries.

Bala made his debut in the Telugu film in 2002 and has had huge success in South Indian films, including the Malayalam film industry.

He made his directorial debut with the 2012 Malayalam action film ‘The Hitlist’ in which he played the leading role.

Incidentally, last year the actor had undergone a liver transplant surgery. (Agency)
