Bala's old driver Irshad craned his neck into the ongoing controversy and seconded the allegations raised by Amrutha Suresh, Bala’s first wife. Irshad admitted to seeing Bala physically torturing Amrutha and said that he too bore the brunt of abuses from the actor. IRSHAD: "I am Irshad.
I joined as a driver to Bala and Amrutha back in 2010. It was just a few months after their marriage. Till their separation, I was with them and have seen plenty of what happened between them.
After the two separated, I went along with Amrutha and there is a reason for it. I have seen Bala often slapping Amrutha. I was just 18 at that time and he even slapped me.
One time, blood started oozing out from my nose after his slap landed on my nose. I was too young and had no idea how to respond. Amrutha considered me a brother and her mother cared for me as a son.
So, I had no qualms about joining Amrutha after the couple split. I saw Pappu’s (Bala and Amrutha’s daughter) video yesterday. I also chanced upon many comments that ridiculed and derided the small girl, saying it was Amrutha who tutored the child to come up with such stories.
I am sure no one from Amrutha's family will dare to do such gimmicks because they loathe the concept of Pappu facing the media. It has been 14 years working with them and not even once did they request me to upload a video spilling out the truth. And today, I felt the need to do it, only after watching Pappu and Amrutha’s video.
They don’t even know about .
