'Still being treated to remove my body's scars...' Amrutha's shocking revelations about actor Bala

Ever since their divorce, actor Bala has repeatedly accused his ex-wife, singer Amrutha Suresh, of not being willing to allow him to see his daughter Avantika and claiming that she was alienating his child from him. Recently, Bala stated in an interview that his rights as a father were being ignored. However, on Thursday, Avantika spoke out against her father, accusing Bala of blatant lies. She recalled how Bala would come home drunk and assault her mother, and also revealed that Bala had forcibly taken her to Chennai after getting her court permission revoked.

Shortly after Avantika's clip came to the fore, Bala responded in a video, stating that he doesn't want to argue with his daughter and will never come near her again. But the controversy refused to end there. Avantika faced severe cyberbullying, forcing her mother to speak out. 

Amrutha, for the first time, revealed the reason for her separation from Bala. While appealing that her daughter be spared from cyberbullying, Amrutha stated that she left Bala allegedly due to unbearable physical and mental abuse.

Amrutha’s Statements:

"I remained silent for so long, but I'm speaking up now for my daughter. There was false news about her claiming that I didn’t let Bala see her after she contracted COVID. Subsequently, the channel came to understand the truth. The false news was provided by Bala. Since I stayed quiet, only one side of the story is heard. That’s why everyone seems to hate me. I’m aware of that hate, but I never tried to change it.

It’s just a small family with my daughter, me, my mother, and Abhirami. Just a few days ago was my daughter’s birthday, a day that should have been joyful. But every time news about her comes out, I wonder how she can feel happy. Today, my daughter has grown; she understands everything. That’s why she recorded a video herself. I didn’t know what she would say. After my daughter released the video, Bala also posted a video. It was in a manner that subjected my child to more cyberbullying. Many commented with derogatory words like ‘fool’ and ‘arrogant.’ I cannot tolerate that at all.

I can clarify some points from what my daughter said. The main allegation is that I brainwashed her. Bala stated in an interview that when he was bedridden in the hospital, my daughter asked him to buy her a laptop. When she saw that, she asked me why her father was lying like that.

He forcibly took her away from court and put her in the car. She experienced all of this. What does it mean when he says I brainwashed her, my Malayali brothers and sisters? It’s a scene witnessed by hundreds of people. Don’t we all remember the childhood traumas? When issues arose at home, our servants took her away to ensure nothing happened to her. All of this was testified during the divorce proceedings.

When my daughter goes to school, many would ask about the problems at home. Once a classmate asked if her father had told her that her mother is bad. That day, my daughter came home crying.

What wrong have I done? At eighteen, I fell in love for the first time and married him. I lay bleeding in that house for many days after that. I was scared to tell my family because my father and mother were against this marriage. I was married under many false pretenses. Bala had married someone else before marrying me; I only learned about that after our engagement. Even then, my parents told me to back out of the wedding, but I didn’t agree.

When the abuse started to affect my daughter, I ran away from that house. I didn’t leave with a fortune. I had asked for compensation, but after he forcefully took my daughter away, I said I wanted nothing.

While Bala was in the hospital, everyone prayed for him. But I am still undergoing treatment. The trauma from that beating was significant. I underwent treatment several times due to internal bleeding. I’m still undergoing treatment to remove the scars from my body. Somehow, I have to survive. If I had money, I would have bought my own house. I am being portrayed as a worthless mother. After fourteen years, I fell into a romantic relationship. For the first time in many years, I felt loved. I thought it would go well, but when it seemed it wouldn’t progress, we mutually decided to part ways. Meanwhile, he (Bala) had married again. Yet, I’m the only one being portrayed negatively. 

I have never spoken ill of him after the divorce. Allow me to live. We are the only ones who can speak for ourselves. My daughter should not be cyberbullied. Don’t hurt that little child.
