Santhosh initially had also accepted to stay in Vijayalakshmi’s home after marriage but has now informed her that they will be moving to a relative’s house after marriage.

Vijayalakshmi’s decision to call off the wedding was appreciated by many. While talking to the media she said,

“I had a programme on the same day when I decided to call off the wedding. I haven’t enjoyed any programme like that in recent times. It was like earning my freedom by breaking the chains around me. I had a peaceful sleep also.”

Vijayalakshmi was praised for taking a bold decision by not letting go off her career for the sake of a married life. Many celebrities and social media users supported her wholeheartedly.

Popular actress Rima Kallingal was one of the first to come out in support of her. In a recent Facebook post, she called Vijayalakshmi as a role model for all girls. Along with Vijayalakshmi’s photo, she wrote,

“Girls here is the role model you were all looking for.

And boys, nobody is going to ask you to leave your career behind after marriage. So this is going to be difficult for you guys to grasp. But then here is the kind of woman who can be a true soulmate; equal in strength, passion, self worth, hard work and sharing responsibilities for life.“
