The actor who interfered in Bhavana's career | December 19, 2015 | IndiaGlitz

IndiaGlitz wrote in 2015: “Actress Bhavana has been away from mainstream cinema for a while now. Though she had done a few movies including 'Ivide', the talented actress is keeping a low profile. There were speculations that the interference of a popular actor in her career in what kept her away. The social media was abuzz that [a top Malayalam actor] was behind this because she supported Manju Warrier. The Dileep- Bhavana pair was quite a hit, but they are not on talking terms now.

“Bhavana, without revealing any names revealed that a popular actor has been taking away her chances by asking makers to deny her roles in their movies. She says that a friend of hers had come to her for help and that she had helped her thinking that she could also be in that same situation. She also added that the friend was having family problems at that time. This lull in her career has actually helped the actress in choosing better roles as well as keeping her ideals of good script and good pay intact.”

Bhavana: I have been 'unofficially banned' from Malayalam films

Though Manju Warrier clarified that Bhavana had nothing to do with her divorce with Dileep, there still seem to have been issues for Bhavana.

Malayalam actress Bhavana has not been seen in films for a while now. In a recent interview to Deccan Chronicle the actress has alleged that there has been an unofficial ban against her in the Malayalam film industry.

In the interview, Bhavana has stated that her troubles started when she helped a close friend through some family problems. While she has not named anyone, stories in the film industry are rife that it was actor Dileep who was the cause of the ban. Bhavana is reportedly close to actress Manju Warrier who was married to Dileep. Manju and Dileep got divorced after nearly 15 years in 2014.

In her Facebook page, Manju Warrier had written, "My decision to get divorced is very personal. I write this note as my decision has started affecting the lives of those who are supporting me. It hurts more when certain allegations are pointed against those who love and care about me, who stood by me in all my tough times. Dileep and I have jointly approached the family court. The reason for our divorce is highly personal and I kindly request everyone to respect our privacy regarding the matter. At the same time, there are many rumours about my friends Geethu, Samyuktha, Bhavana, Poornima and Shwetha Menon, who are pointed out as a reason for our separation. It hurts them as well as me to hear such rumours, as it has now started affecting their personal and professional space. These decisions are completely mine and I alone will be responsible for all the repercussions. None of my friends compelled or forced me to make any such decisions and are not responsible for it. I believe I have cleared all the doubts with this note."

In Bhavana's interview, she stated that she lost out on many films, but it didn't bother her as all those films turned out to be flops.

We hope to have your continuous support and blessings for the times to come.”

IndiaGlitz wrote on July 06, 2017, almost a week before actor Dileep’s arrest, ‘It has also come to light that a VIP of the Malayalam industry did not want Bhavana's marriage to Kannada producer Naveen to take place and thus hired Pulsar Suni to commit [a] horrible crime. The Kerala press reports suggest that the VIP in question could be [a famous actor], his manager, [his actor friend] and [his second wife].’
