Kay Kay Menon, also known as Krishna Kumar Menon, is one of those rare actors in Hindi cinema whose performances leave a lasting impression.
Known for his powerful and thought-provoking roles, Kay Kay has given memorable performances in films like Haider, Black Friday, Life in a… Metro, Bheja Fry 2, and Gulaal.
His acting is intense, and his characters often carry emotional weight, making him a standout in every project he’s part of.
The Comeback of Himmat Singh in Special Ops 2
The actor has once again caught the attention of fans with his return as RAW agent Himmat Singh in Special Ops 2, which released on July 18, 2025. In this new chapter of the spy thriller, Kay Kay brings back his sharp-witted, fearless character, ready to protect the nation alongside his trusted team. His calm yet commanding presence in the show proves why he remains one of the most respected actors in the industry.
A Love Story Away from the Limelight
Despite his fame, Kay Kay Menon keeps his personal life away from public attention. He has been married to actress Nivedita Bhattacharya, a popular face from Indian TV and theatre, since 2002. The two met during their theatre days, connected over their shared love for cinema, and gradually fell in love.
During their struggling years in Mumbai, both were living separately and paying rent for two homes. Realizing it made more sense financially — and emotionally — they decided to live together. That decision eventually led them to tie the knot. As Kay Kay once put it, “Why pay rent for two houses when we can share one?”
Who Is Nivedita Bhattacharya?
Nivedita has had an impressive journey herself. She’s known for her roles in TV shows like Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, Saath Phere: Saloni Ka Safar, and Balika Vadhu. She’s also acted in films such as Kya Kehna, Phobia, Aiyaary, and The Vaccine War. Apart from screen acting, Nivedita is deeply involved in theatre and continues to perform regularly.
Keeping Marriage Private, On Purpose
Kay Kay and Nivedita chose to keep their marriage out of the spotlight. Nivedita once shared that they didn’t want their relationship to become a topic of gossip. For them, it was always about the work and the passion they shared for their craft.
In an old interview, Nivedita said that being married to another actor helped them understand and support each other better. They often discuss films, performances, direction, and writing, making their bond stronger both as professionals and partners.
‘As actors, we both understand each other’s work and the challenges and demands of our profession. Our shared interests go beyond just our own work; we enjoy watching and discussing films, plays, performances, direction, writing, cinematography, music and various aspects of our profession. We appreciate each other’s perspectives and experiences, which only enriches our understanding of our craft. Being in the same profession is a win-win situation. We are continually celebrating each other’s success and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else!’
