Director Alleppey Ashraf is known for shedding light on anecdotes from the film industry, hitherto kept secret from the public. At a time when his vlogs are peaking in popularity, Ashraf is here again to talk about the hitherto untouched details on the downfall of a famous actor who went from being a happily married man to a two-time divorcee.

ALLEPPEY ASHRAF:

“Many of the secrets of the older generation are still unknown. I'm also hurt seeing the unfortunate downfall of an actor who was loved by people. I felt like telling you these real happenings in the actor’s life since he genuinely craved a happy married life, but it ended up in chaos and humiliation.

When I was in Madras, this actor fell in love with a famous actress. Their beautiful affair reached a stage which made marriage inevitable. I even accompanied the actor when he went to invite guests to his wedding.

They married soon and became parents of two children later. Anybody could have envied them for the beautiful family life they led. Success came knocking on the actor’s door as his career reached a crescendo of success. After his big success as an actor and later an anchor on a popular television show, the actor soon tried his luck in politics, and the story was no different.

No matter how happy a person is, the psyche is bound to change if his/her family life is in tatters. The same happened with the popular actor. Lawyers, cases, courts, and mudslinging ended his marital life in divorce. It was shocking for many to see the once-ideal couple deciding to part ways, that too in a rather nasty way.

The actor ended up living together with another famous personality, but an ideal family life was not in the picture. Problems started popping up between them, and soon they decided to split, this time in a generous way, respecting each other’s feelings.

The actor started focusing on his political career, but this time, ill luck struck him in the form of a rape case. The change in his character began to manifest itself in many ways. The actor’s late-night salacious talks got leaked in public, and he turned into a laughing stock for many. This badly affected his political career.

One need not require a degree in psychology to discern that it was the crack in his first marriage that changed many of his old traits. Unknown to many is the role of a prominent director, who tried mediation between the couple, only to end up worsening the rift. The director is super popular and has made unforgettable contributions to Malayalam cinema.

The director used to frequent the house of the actor’s wife in Chennai on the pretext of pacifying her. This visit ended with the director and the actress getting close. The director’s wife came to know about the shady relationship story, and she created an uproar. The director soon reconciled with his wife after much effort.

However, the poor actor husband on the other side witnessed his family life falling apart. The humiliation of the extramarital affair was too much to bear for him. It affected him in a way that changed his whole self.”
