Popular actress Keerthy Suresh recently appeared on Jagapathi Babu’s talk show “Jayammu Nischayammu Raa”, where she shared heartfelt details about her long-term relationship with her now-husband, Antony Thattil. In an emotional and candid segment, Keerthy revealed that their relationship began in 2010, during her college years—well before her rise to fame in the film industry.
Long-Distance and Life Commitments
Keerthy explained that maintaining a relationship through the early stages of her career was challenging. For five to six years, they navigated a long-distance relationship, with Antony working in Qatar and Keerthy based in Chennai. She admitted that they both needed time—not just for their careers but also to grow individually before committing to marriage. “We needed time. I had to finish college and build my career,” she shared on the show.
Family Support & Overcoming Differences
One of the most touching revelations was Keerthy’s concern about how her family would react, given the religious differences between her and Antony. However, the reality turned out to be far more supportive than she expected. “Four years ago, I spoke to my dad about Antony, and he made it so easy,” she recalled. Her father, G. Suresh Kumar, a respected Malayalam film producer, even celebrated the moment by pouring Antony a drink, breaking all her previous fears.
Nyke – A Token of Love
Keerthy also shared an adorable personal story about her pet dog, Nyke, which has a special connection to her relationship. After the success of her 2018 film Mahanati, Antony gifted her the puppy. Since their relationship was still private at the time, Keerthy wanted a meaningful way to honor their bond. “I named the dog Nyke—‘Ny’ from Antony and ‘Ke’ from Keerthy,” she smiled.
A Dual-Ceremony Wedding in Goa
After over a decade and a half together, Keerthy and Antony tied the knot in a private wedding held in Goa on December 12, 2024. The couple honored both their backgrounds by having Hindu and Christian ceremonies, surrounded by close friends and family. It was a moment of joy not just for the couple, but also for their well-wishers and fans who had long speculated about Keerthy’s personal life.
What’s Next for Keerthy Suresh?
On the professional front, Keerthy remains active in South Indian cinema. She was last seen in “Baby John” and “Uppu Kappurambu”. Her upcoming releases include “Revolver Rita”, where she plays a bold lead role, and “Rowdy Janardhana”, in which she stars opposite Vijay Deverakonda.
A Journey of Love, Patience, and Growth
Keerthy’s candid revelations have won over fans once again. Her story reflects not just the glitz of celebrity life but also the grounded, emotional journey of a couple that chose patience over pressure. In an industry where relationships are often rushed or hidden, Keerthy and Antony’s 15-year love story stands out as one of authenticity, mutual respect, and deep understanding.
