Actor Manoj opened up about the struggles he and his wife Beena Antony had to face after their marriage. The actor couple had to face several scandalous stories. Many propagated stories about my divorce and such news spread easily, he said.

In an interview to a Malayalam media, Manoj said that many used to call him enquiring about those fake news.

"At first I used to get upset. But then it became routine. Gossips about Beena before marriage also hurt us. Many stories did rounds during our peak time in cinema", he said.

"Beena's father brought up his children under strict rules. Beena never went out without the company of either her mother or father. Stories were made against such a girl. Some people find happiness in hurting others. They might say anything, don't care about it", Manoj added.

Manoj and Beena is celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary.
