Nithya Menen denies getting married, says ‘I no longer need to get calls to arrange events for my wedding’

Actor Nithya Menen, who was recently seen in Amazon Prime’s Modern Love: Hyderabad, has reacted to rumours about her marriage. A week after reports emerged that Nithya is taking a break from work to get married to a popular Malayalam actor, she took to Instagram to put the rumours to rest. She shared a video in which she clarified that she’s not getting married and that it’s a made-up story. She also said there’s nobody in her life at the moment.

Calling it a “big happy made-up story”, Nithya said in the video, “I just thought I’ll take this opportunity to say it directly myself that I am not getting married. It’s just a big happy made-up story. There’s nothing close to it. Nothing literally. No plans either and nobody is in the picture. So yeah, that’s not happening. This is a classic case of someone who’s just bored. Someone who wants to write a made-up article. I have no plans for it.”

About rumours of her planning to take a break, she said, “I am always going to take breaks from acting and I am going to need that time to recuperate. It’s the kind of person I am and it’s the kind of actor I am. Most actors do it. I think it’s very new for people. I will never be able to work like a robot continuously or mechanically. I am not made like that. So, I have had a really tough year and I literally worked every day. And the lockdown happened. Because of the lockdown, everything has piled up and I have five or six more projects to be released. So, that’s the good news. Yaay.”

“Since I have been working hard, I need a break. My ankle is a lot better. I have started working out and I’ve just started getting up on my feet. I had so much fun not getting out of bed. I loved it. And it came at the perfect time and I finished all my projects. My vacation has started. So, the reason for me taking a chill is because my vacation has started. I’ll take it easy, travel a bit and then come back and do some acting. I no longer need to get calls to arrange events for my wedding. Because it’s not happening. Not happening (sic)”, she added.

Nithya currently has two projects ready for release. Her Malayalam film 19 (1)(a) will directly premiere on Disney Plus Hotstar from July 29. She also has Tamil film Thiruchitrambalam with Dhanush for release in August.
