Actress
Vincy Aloshious
has clarified once again that it was none other than
Mammootty
who originally suggested her now-viral screen name "Win C." After being trolled for weeks and having earlier claimed it was a misunderstanding, Vincy has now doubled down, saying she has concrete proof — including screenshots — that the megastar did send her the message.
'Hi, isn't this Win C?'
In an interview with Silly Monks Mollywood, Vincy said, 'He responded to my message saying, 'Hi, isn't this Win C?' I was overjoyed. From then on, I kept him posted about my work.' Earlier, in a post-award interview to Manorama News, Vincy had admitted she may have been misled and believed mistakenly that Mammootty had called her Win C, attributing the confusion to someone else's manipulation. The admission led to an online meme fest, with netizens mocking the incident and Vincy's statement going viral.

'Did I really ask you to change your name?
But Vincy has now revisited the events with clarity: 'Later, I received another message from the same number, asking me to keep the name Win C. I replied sarcastically, and the person wrote back, 'Did I really ask you to change your name?' I was confused and even wondered if he was joking.'
She said she took a screenshot of the chat and sent it to a person named Georgettan, who confirmed that the number did belong to Mammootty.
Blame it on disappearing messages?
The actress says the reason for Mammootty's denial might be due to the disappearing messages setting enabled on his phone.
'He had no memory of it. When I told him I changed my name because of his messages, he looked genuinely surprised. But I have all the proof on my phone. Even so, people might once again think I'm just making it up,' she said.
Meanwhile, Vincy Aloshious' recent outing is the Shine Tom Chacko starrer 'Soothravakyam'.
