Vincy Aloshious confirms Mammootty suggested her name ‘Win C': 'I have proof on my phone'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actress Vincy Aloshious has clarified once again that it was none other than Mammootty who originally suggested her now-viral screen name "Win C." After being trolled for weeks and having earlier claimed it was a misunderstanding, Vincy has now doubled down, saying she has concrete proof — including screenshots — that the megastar did send her the message. 'Hi, isn't this Win C?' In an interview with Silly Monks Mollywood, Vincy said, 'He responded to my message saying, 'Hi, isn't this Win C?' I was overjoyed. From then on, I kept him posted about my work.' Earlier, in a post-award interview to Manorama News, Vincy had admitted she may have been misled and believed mistakenly that Mammootty had called her Win C, attributing the confusion to someone else's manipulation. The admission led to an online meme fest, with netizens mocking the incident and Vincy's statement going viral. 02:05 Soothravakyam - Official Trailer 'Did I really ask you to change your name? But Vincy has now revisited the events with clarity: 'Later, I received another message from the same number, asking me to keep the name Win C. I replied sarcastically, and the person wrote back, 'Did I really ask you to change your name?' I was confused and even wondered if he was joking.' She said she took a screenshot of the chat and sent it to a person named Georgettan, who confirmed that the number did belong to Mammootty. Blame it on disappearing messages? The actress says the reason for Mammootty's denial might be due to the disappearing messages setting enabled on his phone. 'He had no memory of it. When I told him I changed my name because of his messages, he looked genuinely surprised. But I have all the proof on my phone. Even so, people might once again think I'm just making it up,' she said. Meanwhile, Vincy Aloshious' recent outing is the Shine Tom Chacko starrer 'Soothravakyam'.

Shine Tom Chacko apologises to Vincy Aloshious during Soothravakyam promotions after drug-related misconduct: ‘If you were hurt, I am sorry'
All seems to be well between Malayalam actors Shine Tom Chacko and Vincy Aloshious. The Jana Gana Mana actor had earlier been accused by Vincy of misbehaving on the sets of their film Soothravakyam, allegedly under the influence of drugs. However, the two recently reconciled their differences during the film's promotions in Puthukad on Tuesday. During an interaction with the media, Shine publicly apologised to Vincy. When asked if there were any issues between them, Shine responded, 'Do you see any problems between us by looking at us?' — hinting that everything was fine between the two. Vincy, too, denied any ongoing feud. Vincy even spoke about her admiration for Shine and his career, revealing that she had sought his advice before becoming an actor. However, she admitted that it was unexpected to see Shine under the influence of drugs on the set. Vincy's statement prompted Shine to apologise publicly. He said, 'I did not expect it. If you were hurt, then I am sorry.' In April, Vincy had accused Shine of inappropriate behaviour on the sets of Soothravakyam and lodged a formal complaint with the Kerala Film Chamber. She also approached the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) regarding the alleged misconduct. However, she did not file a police complaint. Just days after Vincy's complaint, Shine was arrested under Sections 27 (consumption) and 29 (conspiracy for drug abuse) of the NDPS Act. The action was taken after he allegedly escaped during a police raid at his hotel in Kochi. His chats and digital payment details reportedly helped the police establish a prima facie link between him and drug peddlers. This was the second drug-related case against Shine. Earlier this year, he was acquitted in a 2015 cocaine case. Shine Tom Chacko is also going through a difficult time in his personal life. Last month, the actor was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of his father. He was travelling with his family from Ernakulam to Bengaluru for his de-addiction programme when the accident occurred.

Unnikrishnan, General Secretary of the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA), confirmed that Chacko had used drugs at his workplace and revealed that the film body has given a final warning to the actor to correct his mistakes. 'We have now informed his family members to seek professional assistance for him to overcome the problem of drug use. We will not co-operate with him if he violates the assurance not to create any more problems,' he said He further added, 'People who get addicted to such behaviours or practices should be given an opportunity to correct themselves, as that is the humane thing to do. But this humane approach should not be seen as a weakness.' Earlier, according to a report in Mathrubhumi, Shine apologised to Vincy during the internal committee meeting and assured everyone present that he would behave professionally in the future. He also told the committee that he had not acted intentionally. At an event connected to a 'No to Drugs' campaign, Vincy stated that she would no longer act with people who use drugs on film sets. Her statement caused a stir online. To clarify her position, she shared a video on Instagram explaining that she and a female colleague had faced inappropriate behaviour from a co-actor who was under the influence on set. Without naming her co-star at first, Vincy said that when she had an issue with her costume on set, the actor said, 'I'll fix it for you,' in front of everyone, creating an uncomfortable situation. 'He was also spitting a white powder from his mouth when the rehearsal for a scene was on. It was evident that he was using drugs on the set,' she added in the video. Later, Vincy filed a formal complaint with the Film Chamber and the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists, naming Shine Tom Chacko as the co-star who misbehaved with her during the shoot of the yet-to-be-released film Soothravakyam.
