Lover's suicide: Alphonsa ends her silence

Chennai: A month after her lover hung himself to death in her flat, item girl Alphonsa claimed that it was failure in films and family struggle that did Vinod Kumar in.

Denying the allegations of Vinod's parents that she and her family had 'killed' him and 'camouflaged' it as suicide, the actress said, "This is a baseless and false allegation. We have been living together very happily for the past two years."

Stating that he played the lead in a movie called 'Kavasam', which was put on hold because of financial problems, she claimed that the failure in films after despite half a decade of hard work had him feeling depressed.
