Bala refuted allegations of throwing glass at her and stated that his daughter had left him when she was two and a half or three years old.
“My word is MY WORD. TODAY IS THE BIGGEST PAIN EVER I FELT. I LOVE YOU . NEVER EVER I SHALL COME NEAR YOU , PROMISE ON MY GOD. BYE. CALLED U 5 MONTHS INSIDE WOMB FIRST PAAPU , NAMED YOU AVANTIKA YOUR FATHER , ALWAYS CALLED YOU BABY,” Bala captioned.

On Thursday (Sep 26), Bala and his ex-wife Amritha Suresh’s daughter Avantika dropped a video on her Instagram profile (which she shares with her grandmother) and stated that though she never wanted to comment on a ‘sensitive’ topic like this, she had to, because of the ‘false accusations’ leveled against her and her family (including her mother, aunt, and grandmother) by her father Bala. The kid stated that she is fed up with the questions her friends ask about such accusations made by her father, and so finally it is time to speak up. “My father has given many interviews stating that he loves me a lot, and misses me a lot, and buys me gifts. But, that’s not true. I don’t have a single reason to love my father. Because he has tortured me and my family to that extent.”
The child recalled an incident from her childhood when her father came drunk and started to beat up her mother. She recalled how helpless she felt, and couldn’t do anything as she was just a child. In the video, she went on to add that her family is taking care of her in the best possible way and wasn’t interested in her father’s involvement in her life.
