Balaji Mohan, the director of ‘Maari’, stated that he secretly married actress Dhanya Balakrishnan. This happened after actress Kalpika Ganesh made personal claims regarding him. The director then initiated a defamation case against Kalpika. According to the latest development, Kalpika finally uploaded an apology video on social media after several months.

Kalpika apologised in a video and admitted making false claims against Balaji Mohan. In the video, she stated, "Hi, I am Kalpika Ganesh. I would like to sincerely apologize to actress Dhanya Balakrishnan and director Balaji Mohan for falsely accusing them and defaming them on my social media platforms.”
