Mollywood heartthrob Prithviraj
said here on Tuesday that he
uttered 'white lies' about his
marriage with BBC journalist
Supriya Menon to protect her
privacy.
"I admit that I lied when asked
about my marriage," he told
media persons here.
"Forgive me for that. I always
wanted my marriage to be a
private function. Supriya also felt
the same. The other choice was
to reveal our plans and request
you guys to give us some privacy. Since it was not
practical, I lied."
Prithviraj had surprised
everyone by tying the knot with
Supriya on April 25, after sharply
criticising the media for
publishing 'baseless' reports
about his friendship with her. The actor said he had misled the
media on his love affair since any
revelation would have affected
Supriya's career.
"For her profession, such
celebrity status is harmful," he
said. "She is a reporter who goes
out to the streets and
interviews people. The news that
she was going to marry an actor would have affected all that.
That is why I kept it a secret.
Did I do wrong?" he asked.
He added that he had spoken
about the media's lack of ethics
when a newspaper had linked
him with another journalist
working in Mumbai. "Spare a
thought for that girl's family," he said.
"I was not wrong on that count."
When asked whether his wife
'dominated' him, the actor
quipped: "The question smacks of
chauvinism. We are equal
partners in life."
