Abduction and assault[edit]

In February 2017, she was kidnapped[76] while returning home from a shoot and subjected to sexual assault by a gang of men. In April 2017, there were multiple reports in the media that actor Dileep had links to the main accused.[77] In July 2017, Dileep was arrested by the investigating team,[78] which said in its charge sheet that there was circumstantial evidence for Dileep's alleged conspiracy with the other accused men.[79] Dileep was released on bail in October 2017.[80] In 2022, amid further media reports alleging Dileep's attempt to intimidate an investigating officer, new charges were filed against him and five others.[81]

After the assault, Bhavana withdrew from the Malayalam movie industry for five years.[82] Bhavana made her first comment about the case in 2022.[83]

Bhavana's assault partly contributed to the creation of the Malayalam film industry Women in Cinema Collective, formed to protect female actors.[83] A couple of months after Bhavana spoke out, the Kerala state assembly is planning legislation to protect women working in the film industry.[82]

Personal life[edit]

The engagement ceremony of Bhavana and Kannada film producer Naveen was held in March 2017.[84] They married on 22 January 2018.[85][86]
