‘My wife was the only one I could open up to; separation caused severe mental breakdown

Actor Vinayakan said that his former wife was the only person with whom he could openly share everything about his life. He said that their separation pushed him into a deeply difficult and dark phase in his personal life. He also stated that he went through severe emotional distress after their separation. Vinayakan clarified this in an interview with a private television channel.

His words, ‘I was married and now we are separated. We have no children. There were no fights between the two of us, but we couldn’t continue living together. My wife was the only person I could open up to. Now I don’t have anyone like that. I became extremely dark now. You need someone to talk to, at least one person, don’t you?

My wife may have left me because of my own faults. She couldn’t handle me. I became alone, broken down and stopped going out. That may have been my problem, not hers. She still takes care of many things related to me. She recharges my YouTube account. It is better that we get separated. Otherwise, it will cause problems for her. I don’t give her peace. It is better that she lives her life and takes care of herself--for both her sake and mine,’ said Vinayakan.
