Nivedita Bhattacharya On Being Low-Key About Married Life With Kay Kay Menon: "Our Work Should Do The Talking"

Actress Nivedita Bhattacharya, who is married to Kay Kay Menon, opened up about the reason behind keeping their married life a low-key affair. Speaking to Free Press Journal in an interview, Nivedita Bhattacharya said that they want to be talked about for their work, not their personal life. "It's a part of our life and there's no need to bring that forward because both our agendas are that our work should do the talking and those who know us, know we're married. We didn't want to shout from a rooftop 'oh we're a couple, look at us, take our pictures'. We're only visible when our work is visible," the publication quoted Nivedita as saying.

Kay Kay Menon and Nivedita Bhattacharya fell in love during their theatre days, the actress told Free Press Journal: "We both were doing theatre. It was during a play when we met during rehearsals. We have a common set of friends. It's not like you meet someone in a project and move on to the next. Even if we were not working together, we were always in the same circle, which then transitioned into love."

Adding a touch of cheeky humour, Nivedita said she and Kay Kay Menon decided to get married to save up on rent: "We were in the initial stepping stones, struggling, looking for more work, our careers had just begun. We said 'OKAY' might as well just get married. Instead of giving rent to two different houses, we'll just pay the rent for one."

In terms of work, Kay Kay Menon recently featured in the Netflix anthology Ray - he starred in the segment titled Bahurupiya, directed by Srijit Mukherjee. Meanwhile, Nivedita Bhattacharya features in the Disney+Hotstar film Shaadistan. She is known for starring in shows such as Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai, Gunahon Ka Devta, Saat Phere: Saloni Ka Safa and Kundali, among others.
