Keerthy revealed how her mother, veteran actor Menaka, found out about her relationship with Antony. She said, "I started dating my husband way back. To be exact, I started dating him right after I completed my 12th grade. When I was in college, my mother read my diary. It had everything (about our relationship). She was like, ‘I’m your mother; I can read your diary.’ The worst part is, I stopped writing a diary altogether after that. I used to love writing, but I don’t even know where the diary is now. I really wish I could get it back. But I have a feeling that my mom burned it."

Keerthy also opened up about her interfaith marriage and the challenges she faced while convincing her family. She said, "We met in December 2009, and we started dating in January 2010. In 2024, we got married. Since he’s a Christian, there obviously were problems at home that I had to face. It took a while for me to convince [my family]. He had seen me before I became an actor. That’s the best part. We kind of grew up together.”

The couple tied the knot on December 12, 2024, in Goa in traditional Tamil Hindu and Malayali Christian ceremonies attended by their family and close friends.
