Popular Malayalam actor Dileep recently has announced his marriage with actress Kavya Madhavan and shocked everyone. With Kavya, the actor has worked in many films. The actor also went on social media Facebook Live before the wedding and requested his fans to respect his decisions.

Dileep's marriage created a lot of buzz because till now he had mum about his divorce with Manju Warrier.

However, Dileep about the problems that created distance between them said, "We have never responded to the question before. We got married in 1998 and were leading a very happy life until almost five years ago. But some unexpected things happened. I have detailed the reasons in the divorce petition. Actually, it is not a divorce petition, but rather our family history. I have submitted evidence, and it involves a few renowned personalities, even the ones I trusted. I will remain silent in the matter considering the future of my daughter. Now my first wife is leading a happy life with her acting career back on track and I am moving on with mine."

He also said, "In the name of God, I must say Kavya had no role in it. I liked Kavya, but it should not be interpreted as love. I knew Kavya even before we worked together in Chandranudikunna Dikkil in 1998. I was good friends with Manju and I could talk about everything with her. People think Kavya ruined our relationship. But honestly, that's not the case."

He further stated, "I used to live with my aged mother and a daughter, who needed a mother figure in her life. I couldn't focus on my work as I was concerned about my daughter. You know how unsafe today's society is for girls. And my friends and colleagues compelled me to remarry for her sake. But I was hesitant because I knew I cannot live with a stranger. I had discussed the issue with my mother and later decided to marry Kavya as she was also targeted using my name. When I suggested it to my daughter, she was happy as she knew Kavya well. She can't be a mother for my daughter. But they are good friends. When I approached Kavya's parents, her mother was against the alliance. However, they were convinced later."
