Malayalam actress Bhavana has not been seen in films for a while now. In a recent interview to Deccan Chronicle the actress has alleged that there has been an unofficial ban against her in the Malayalam film industry.
In the interview, Bhavana has stated that her troubles started when she helped a close friend through some family problems. While she has not named anyone, stories in the film industry are rife that it was actor Dileep who was the cause of the ban. Bhavana is reportedly close to actress Manju Warrier who was married to Dileep. Manju and Dileep got divorced after nearly 15 years in 2014.
In her Facebook page, Manju Warrier had written, "My decision to get divorced is very personal. I write this note as my decision has started affecting the lives of those who are supporting me. It hurts more when certain allegations are pointed against those who love and care about me, who stood by me in all my tough times. Dileep and I have jointly approached the family court. The reason for our divorce is highly personal and I kindly request everyone to respect our privacy regarding the matter. At the same time, there are many rumours about my friends Geethu, Samyuktha, Bhavana, Poornima and Shwetha Menon, who are pointed out as a reason for our separation. It hurts them as well as me to hear such rumours, as it has now started affecting their personal and professional space. These decisions are completely mine and I alone will be responsible for all the repercussions. None of my friends compelled or forced me to make any such decisions and are not responsible for it. I believe I have cleared all the doubts with this note."
Though Manju Warrier clarified that Bhavana had nothing to do with her divorce with Dileep, there still seems to have been issues for Bhavana. In Bhavana's interview, she stated that she lost out on many films, but it didn't bother her as all those films turned out to be flops.
