The actor shared how her mother discovered her relationship by reading her diary and the challenges of convincing her family.
South Indian actor Keerthy Suresh recently spoke about the challenges she faced regarding her interfaith marriage to businessman Antony Thattil. According to reports by The Indian Express and Hindustan Times, the couple married in December 2024 after a 15-year relationship.
Suresh revealed that she faced difficulties at home because Thattil is a Christian. She stated that it took time for her to convince her family of the relationship.
The actor also recalled an incident during her college years when her mother, veteran actor Menaka, discovered the romance by reading her personal diary. Suresh said she stopped writing in a diary after the incident and expressed a feeling that her mother may have burned it.
The couple met through mutual friends in December 2009 and began dating in January 2010. Suresh was 17 at the time, while Thattil is seven years older than her. Thattil was working in Qatar during the first six years of their long-distance relationship.
The pair tied the knot on December 12, 2024, in Goa with traditional Tamil Brahmin and Malayali Christian wedding ceremonies. Suresh most recently appeared in the Netflix series Akka, directed by Dharmaraj Shetty.
