Malayalam actor Bala recently celebrated his third marriage, tying the knot with his relative Kokila on October 22. This new chapter in his life comes as his ex-wives, singer Amrutha Suresh and Dr Elizabeth Udayan, have taken to social media to share their reflections and thoughts.
Amrutha Suresh, who was married to Bala from 2010 to 2019 and shares a daughter with him, posted a heartfelt message on Instagram. Accompanied by a radiant photo of herself, she wrote about overcoming difficult times when “life felt like it was too much.” Her note emphasised the healing power of a smile, describing it as a sign of happiness, strength, resilience, and hope.
In her message, Amrutha expressed that she faced challenges that tested her deeply. “People have tried to tear me down, but I’ve come to realise that as long as you believe in yourself and the love of those who truly matter, you can get through anything. This smile you see isn’t just for show—it’s a reminder that I refuse to be defeated. And if I can smile through it all, so can you,” she shared. She encouraged her followers to embrace their inner strength and keep smiling, even during tough times. “Your smile has the power to light up your world, and maybe even someone else’s too,” she concluded, urging others to trust in the love of family and friends.
Meanwhile, Dr. Elizabeth Udayan, Bala’s second ex-wife, shared her thoughts through a video on Facebook. Although she acknowledged the recent news about Bala’s marriage, she opted to keep her comments brief. “I really don’t want to talk about it,” she said, expressing her focus on more personal matters. Elizabeth, a medical professional, revealed that she recently saved a patient, which brought her joy amidst her sadness regarding the news. “My patients’ well-being is the most important thing to me,” she added, highlighting her commitment to her work.
Bala’s marital journey has seen significant transitions. After marrying Amrutha in 2010 and welcoming a daughter in 2012, the couple divorced in 2019 after years of separation. He then married Elizabeth in 2021, but the couple announced their separation in 2023. Now, with his marriage to Kokila, Bala embarks on a new phase in his life.
As Bala’s personal life continues to unfold, the messages from Amrutha and Elizabeth underscore the complexities of relationships and the resilience required to navigate them.
