About Bala’s marriages
Bala was first married to singer Amrutha Suresh. They share a daughter, Avantika. He then tied the knot with Elizabeth, but lived separately. Their marriage wasn’t registered legally.
Bala was arrested days before his wedding
A few days ahead of his marriage, Bala was arrested by the Kadavanthra police following a complaint filed by Amrutha Suresh. She had accused Bala of insulting her through social media. The police took Bala into custody after a medical examination at Ernakulam General Hospital. He has been charged with outraging the modesty of a woman, along with additional charges under juvenile justice laws. Bala was later released on bail with two sureties of ₹25,000 each.
The dispute between the two escalated when Bala claimed that Amrutha was preventing him from seeing their daughter. In response, Avantika, their daughter, posted a video stating that Bala had been misbehaving with both her and her mother. Bala later responded in another video, saying that if Avantika did not want to meet him, he would no longer pursue a relationship with her. Amrutha’s complaint also mentioned that Bala’s social media posts had emotionally harmed their daughter. Bala and his manager were arrested at his flat in Kochi.
