'Please leave us alone'
In the video, Bala shared his deep distress over the situation and said he has never raised a hand against anyone. "All these years, I've cared deeply for others. I still do. Yet, I'm constantly misunderstood… and it leaves a deep ache in my heart," he said.
Now 41, Bala said he finally found peace in his personal life after marrying Kokila.
'I take good care of Kokila. Why trouble that life?' he asked. The actor revealed that Kokila even had to stop her cooking YouTube channel due to the mental stress caused by the allegations.
'She needs medical help, not headlines'
Addressing Elizabeth's recent video, recorded from a hospital bed, Bala said the former partner needs medical attention and urged the media to act with compassion. 'She needs treatment, not headlines,' he said. "I swear, I've never hurt anyone. Please don't spread false stories. What some treat as gossip or entertainment is a living nightmare for us. One day, we might have children — imagine what this would mean for them.
"
He also mentioned that he had already approached the court months ago to stop what he called continued harassment, but Elizabeth never appeared for the hearings.
Elizabeth's heartbreaking plea
In a video titled 'Will I get justice before I die?', Dr Elizabeth Udayan recently accused Bala and his family of being responsible for her current medical condition. With oxygen support and visible weakness, she said, 'If anything happens to me, it is because of him and his family.' She also alleged that despite multiple complaints—including to the Chief Minister—no substantial action was taken.
