Actor Dileep has said in an interview to a women’s magazine that he and wife Manju Warrier are separated.

“But I have no plans to talk against her. I am happy being with my daughter,” says the hero.

The timing of the interview is rather curious with Dileep bouncing back to winning ways with the laugh riot Ring Master and Manju all set to make a comeback to films with How Old Are You? releasing next month.

The rumours about their separation have been doing the rounds for sometime now but Dileep had refused to comment on it until now.On the question on whether Kavya is the reason for their rift, Dileep says that “if it was so, me and Manju were like friends. We could have sorted it all easily.”
