The actress was shocked when her uncle Aravind visited the residence at nightfall and threatened her over a  ancestral family property which is in dispute between the two. Fearing for her safety, the actress filed a complaint against Aravind with the Thalassery police. 

"Aravind had been threatening me over the past few days and now he has resorted to use a gun. Even though he is a close relative of mine, I had no other option than to complain about him to the police," the actress said.
