Keerthy Suresh, a prominent name in Tamil and Telugu cinema, is making waves with her Bollywood debut, Baby John. The film, directed by Kalees and co-starring Varun Dhawan, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff, hit theatres earlier this week, marking her entry into Hindi cinema.
While in Mumbai for promotional events, Keerthy experienced an awkward moment with the paparazzi. Spotted on Thursday evening in a stylish denim dress, the actress posed for photographers outside a venue. However, the paparazzi mistakenly addressed her as “Kriti.” The actress promptly corrected them, saying, “Kriti nahi, Keerthy,” emphasizing the distinct meanings of the two names in Hindi and Sanskrit.
The situation escalated when a few photographers referred to her using the term “dosa,” a controversial nickname Bollywood paparazzi sometimes use for actors from the South. Clearly irritated but maintaining her composure, Keerthy responded, “Keerthy dosa nahi, Keerthy Suresh. Aur dosa mujhe pasand hai” (I’m not Keerthy dosa but Keerthy Suresh. But I like dosa).
Keerthy Suresh’s Acclaimed Film Journey
With Baby John marking her Bollywood debut, Keerthy Suresh already boasts an illustrious career in the South. Her filmography includes hits like Ring Master (2014), Nenu Sailaja (2016), Rajinimurugan (2016), Remo (2016), Bairavaa (2017), Nenu Local (2017), Sarkar (2018), and Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018). She earned a National Award for Best Actress for her stellar performance in Mahanati (2018), a biopic on legendary actress Savitri.
Personal Milestone
On December 12, 2024, Keerthy married her longtime boyfriend, Antony Thattil, in a grand celebration in Goa. The wedding beautifully blended Tamil Brahmin and Christian traditions, making it a memorable occasion for her fans and loved ones.
