In a heartfelt interview, popular Malayalam serial actress Sreekala Menon, best known for her role in Ente Manasaputhri, opens up about the personal tragedy and subsequent depression that led her to leave the acting industry and move to the UK. Following the sudden death of her mother, who was her closest confidante, Sreekala found herself spiraling into deep sadness and isolation while living in Thiruvananthapuram with her son. Despite continuing to work on Swami Ayyappan, she struggled with intense feelings of loneliness and a loss of will to live, often finding herself crying alone when her son was at school. Recognizing her deteriorating mental health, her husband, Vipin, encouraged her to join him abroad, prompting her to step away from her successful career to prioritize her family and well-being. Today, while she occasionally misses acting, she finds immense joy and peace in her domestic life in the UK, surrounded by the support of her husband and child.
