Actress Keerthy Suresh is facing a hate campaign on social media. The hate campaign intensified after the news about the actress' marriage surfaced on social media. Keerthy is reportedly engaged to her longtime boyfriend Antony Thattil. Antony's religion is the main reason behind the hate campaign.
These hate comments are mostly appearing under the pictures posted by Keerthy on her social media pages. 'This is the next love jihad in South India. Hindu youths are busy eating beef, while Christians and Muslims are taking away Hindu girls,' a comment read.
Recently, the actress had posted a picture of her standing in front of a mosque in Abu Dhabi. Most of the hate comments were found below this post. 'Those who went around condemning love jihad across the country didn’t realize what was happening in their own home?' one person commented. Keerthy’s mother, actress Menaka, had earlier come forward in support of the controversial movie 'The Kerala Story' during media interactions. This comment references that incident.
Antony Thattil, an engineer by profession, had worked in Qatar before. He currently runs a business in Dubai and Kochi. He owns a leading chain of resorts in Kochi and Chennai. Antony is also the owner of Kochi-based Asperos Windows Solutions. Even though he is a very rich businessman, Antony keeps his distance from social media.
Keerthy and Antony have been in love for around 15 years. Antony was Keerthy's senior in high school. Despite being in a relationship for years, Keerthy and Antony have never shared pictures of them together on social media. Nor have they appeared together in any public functions. However, sources said that Keerthy Suresh will officially announce her wedding plans through a social media post in the near future.
