At 8.30 am, Bala and Kokila who is Bala’s maternal uncle’s daughter from Chennai got married at the Kaloor Pavakulam temple in Ernakulam. The celebrations were attended by their friends and family. Tamil Nadu is where the bride is from. She doesn’t speak Malayalam, though.
Bala talked to reporters Wednesday after his wedding. He revealed that he remarried because he believed he needed assistance after receiving a liver transplant. “I think this will go well,” he remarked. Since she is a relative of mine, I am certain of this.
He added, “For the past year, I’ve been eating well, sleeping better, and taking my medications properly. My health has improved greatly.” Bala also said that ‘this alliance was Kokila’s wish since childhood.
Bala’s first marriage was to singer Amrutha Suresh in 2010, with whom he has a daughter named Avantika before they got divroced in 2019 and his second marriage, to Dr. Elizabeth in 2021 saw the two living separately come 2023, and some claim their marriage was not legally registered.
In the pictures from his third wedding that have gone viral, Bala can be seen wearing a white kurta and a golden veshti while his wife Kokila is seen donning a mustard and maroon-toned silk saree, along with pieces of gold jewelry.
Bala’s arrest
After Amrutha Suresh made a complaint, the Kadavanthra police detained Bala a few days before his wedding. She had claimed that Bala had made fun of her on social media. Following a medical examination at Ernakulam General Hospital, Bala was taken into jail by the police.
In addition to other counts under juvenile justice statutes, he has been charged with outraging a woman’s modesty. Later, Bala was freed on bail with two ₹25,000 sureties.
When Bala said that Amrutha was keeping him from seeing their daughter, their argument became more heated. Their daughter Avantika responded by posting a video in which she claimed that Bala had been acting inappropriately toward both her and her mother.
In a subsequent video, Bala said that he would not pursue a relationship with Avantika if she did not want to meet him. Amrutha’s complaint also stated that their daughter had suffered emotional harm as a result of Bala’s social media remarks. At his Kochi apartment, Bala and his manager were taken into custody.
