Manju Warrier: 'Do not be sad. You will always have a father and mother here.' Our special bond had started on the sets of Daya. We then acted together in Udaharanam, Sujatha, Jack n Jill and recently in Marakkar.
Even though we didn't work together in too many movies, he was always there for me. I used to mockingly call him 'Kodumudi Venu'. Both in acting and in real life, he really enjoyed a great position.
You taught me many things; you were like a mountain that protected me with your shade and care.
I have always respected your lofty ideals and manner. You will always be in my heart, as a beautiful memory that never dies. I bid you a painful farewell.
