Madhampatty Rangara has landed in controversy

Madhampatty Rangaraj, an actor and famous chef best known for his role on Cook with Komali, is in the news again for something he did. Joy Crizildaa, a Kollywood fashion designer, has gone to the police and said that he cheated on her after supposedly getting her pregnant.

Months ago, Joy made the connection public by posting personal photos of the two of them together. This is when the issue first started. One of the pictures even showed the actor wearing a necklace that she had given him. Joy soon after said she was six months pregnant, which caused a lot of conjecture. But subsequently, her posts were taken down, and the uproar grew when she filed her complaint.

Joy's History and Connections in the Business

Joy Crizildaa is a well-known stylist in Tamil cinema. She has worked on movies including Jilla, Darling, and Velaikkaran, and styled performers like Thalapathy Vijay, Vishal, and Atharvaa. She was married to filmmaker J.J. Frederick before, but they broke up last year.

Rangaraj's Work and Personal Life

Madhampatty Rangaraj is a well-known TV personality and business owner. He has also been in movies like Penguin and Kasada Thapara. He is married to Shruti, a lawyer, and they have two kids together. However, sources say that the pair has been living apart.

Rumours of a "second marriage" are going around

Viral pictures and videos of Rangaraj and Joy wearing wedding rings have made the argument even stronger. Joy posted a romantic video montage online that showed their private moments, such as a kiss, and even called Rangaraj her "husband." The post instantly went viral, which made the rumours of a second marriage even stronger.

Rangaraj is Quiet

Even though the media is going crazy, Rangaraj has decided not to openly respond to the claims. Instead, his recent social media posts have mostly been about sharing updates from Cook with Komali, which has left friends and followers confused.

Joy's police report, allegations of pregnancy, deleted posts, and the spread of private movies have all added to the scandal surrounding Madhampatty Rangaraj. Fans and the industry are still on edge for clarity.
