All seems to be well between Malayalam actors Shine Tom Chacko and Vincy Aloshious. The Jana Gana Mana actor had earlier been accused by Vincy of misbehaving on the sets of their film Soothravakyam, allegedly under the influence of drugs. However, the two recently reconciled their differences during the film’s promotions in Puthukad on Tuesday.
During an interaction with the media, Shine publicly apologised to Vincy. When asked if there were any issues between them, Shine responded, “Do you see any problems between us by looking at us?” — hinting that everything was fine between the two. Vincy, too, denied any ongoing feud.
Vincy even spoke about her admiration for Shine and his career, revealing that she had sought his advice before becoming an actor. However, she admitted that it was unexpected to see Shine under the influence of drugs on the set. Vincy’s statement prompted Shine to apologise publicly. He said, “I did not expect it. If you were hurt, then I am sorry.”
Feud between Shine and Vincy
In April, Vincy had accused Shine of inappropriate behaviour on the sets of Soothravakyam and lodged a formal complaint with the Kerala Film Chamber. She also approached the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) regarding the alleged misconduct. However, she did not file a police complaint.
Just days after Vincy’s complaint, Shine was arrested under Sections 27 (consumption) and 29 (conspiracy for drug abuse) of the NDPS Act. The action was taken after he allegedly escaped during a police raid at his hotel in Kochi. His chats and digital payment details reportedly helped the police establish a prima facie link between him and drug peddlers. This was the second drug-related case against Shine. Earlier this year, he was acquitted in a 2015 cocaine case.
Shine loses father in tragic accident
Shine Tom Chacko is also going through a difficult time in his personal life. Last month, the actor was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of his father. He was travelling with his family from Ernakulam to Bengaluru for his de-addiction programme when the accident occurred.
