Dileep
had
tied
the
knot
with
an
Aluva-based
woman
who
is
a
distant
relative,
before

met

Warrier.
The
couple
was
in
a
serious
relationship
for
a
few years,
before
Dileep
made
it
big
in
films.
Reportedly,
the
actor
tied
the
knot
with
her
at

Desom
Registrar

in
the
presence
of
his
close
friends
and
relatives.

Manju's
family
strongly
opposed

If
the

are
to
be
true,
Manju
was
unaware
of
Dileep's
first
marriage.

Manju
and
Dileep
separated
after

started
living
separately
in
