Nithya Menon is one of the most popular actresses in South Indian cinema. She was born in a Malayalam family in Bangalore. The talented actress debuted in Tamil with Siddharth starrer '180' and is currently starring alongside Dhanush in his upcoming film 'Thiruchitrambalam'.

Meanwhile, Santosh Varkey is a person who became viral due to his response to Mohanlal's 'Aarattu' movie. Over the few years, he also stirred controversy by stating that he likes actress Nithya Menen and planning to marry her. Recently, the media questioned Nithya regarding Santosh Varkey during an interaction with the press people for the promotion of her latest film '19 (1) A'.

Nithya Menen answered, "Those who listen to him (Santosh Varkey) are fools. Santosh Varkey has been pestering me for some years to marry him. He was annoying me by calling from more than 30 mobile numbers. I told my parents to block those numbers. When he attained fame on social media, he is openly talking about it. I have forgiven him and even though I was asked to report him to the police, I did not file a complaint."

Santhosh Varkey has responded to Nithya Menon's allegations during her film's promotion. He said, "She said that I tortured her by calling from more than 30 numbers. But people can imagine how many sim cards a single person can buy in his name. Not only that but Nithya Menon's mother told me that she is engaged to someone else. But her father told me that she is not engaged to anyone. I was very confused when they said different things. I came to know that they were going to file a sexual harassment case against me. Also, I have been doing my duties without interfering in any matters after my father's death. If I had known this, I wouldn't have fallen in love with her and followed her around."
