Nivin Pauly, the prominent actor from the Malayalam film industry, is now at the heart of a grave controversy stemming from accusations of gang rape and cheating, as reported in Kerala’s Ernakulam district. The 40-year-old actor has been named among six individuals in connection with these allegations.
