Keeping your personal life private is a task when you are a public figure working in the film industry in India. However, Keerthy Suresh did the seemingly impossible as she dated Antony Thattil for 15 years without the media or fans getting to know about it. Even as she got linked with artists from the industry, the National Award winning actress kept mum. She only disclosed her relationship days before her marriage to Antony Thattil. The couple had a beautiful Tamil-styled and later a church wedding ceremony in Goa in December 2024. 


Keerthy revealed that very few people in the industry were aware of her relationship with Antony. “Nobody knew; only close friends of mine knew. And even in the industry, Sam (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) knew, Jagadish (Palanisamy) had been a part of the journey from the beginning, Atlee, Priya, Vijay sir, Kalyani (Priyadarshan), Aishwarya Lekshmi…very few people, our friends, from the industry knew, " she told Galatta India in an interview. She said that she chose to keep her relationship out of the public eye. 


Suresh said that they have been planning the wedding since April 2002 and were worried that it would come out but it did not. "I thought it would come out way earlier, but we somehow managed. We both like to keep our personal things as private as possible. Thattil is media-shy…we don’t walk around holding hands; we’re not used to PDAs. Even our first trip abroad together was in 2017 when Jagadish took us to Bangkok. We went on a solo trip for the first time only two years ago,” she said.

On the work front, Keerthy Suresh recently made her Hindi film debut with the film 'Baby John' which also stars Varun Dhawan and Wamiqa Gabbi,
