Actor-singer Mamta Mohandas recently got candid about her love life, relationships and marriage to Prajith Padmanabhan, which lasted only a few months. During a recent chat, she revealed that she once dated an actor who kept his engagement a secret from her and about how heartbroken she was to find out the truth a month later.
Mamta Mohandas recalls dating an engaged actor
While speaking to actor Suhasini during a podcast, Mamta revealed that she dated a couple of men after her cancer treatment and before she got married to Prajith in 2011. “I did meet a couple of men a few years before my marriage. What was interesting was that even before I got into a relationship, my diagnosis happened. I got married after the first year of my cancer treatment. One of the reasons for the haste was to fulfil all the other expectations I had of myself as a woman. I did not have practice with relationships or dating,” she shared.
She further revealed that she had dated two men before marriage, including an actor. “I dated two guys before getting married. It was very silly how much trust we place in another person. I only dated one guy from cinema back then. He was just engaged when he asked me out on a date. And I only found out about this a month later from his brother. He said, I think he has been seeing someone, and I should tell you honestly that he’s engaged. Obviously, I was heartbroken,” said Mamta.
The actor-singer also revealed that the other man she dated was someone who was ‘MIA` (missing in action) all the time. Mamta shared that she was wrong in assuming that her partners would take her ‘seriously’, given her second lease of life after cancer diagnosis. She stated that she was ‘too young’ to know any better.
