Mohanlal's close bond with his mother
Mohanlal is deeply attached to his mother and often vocally expresses his close bond. Despite his busy professional schedule, he made it a point to prioritise time with her. He had earlier said that it was a blessing to share his achievements with her. Interestingly, after learning about his Dadasaheb Phalke Award, his mother was the first person he visited to share the news.
During a previous interview with Kairali, Mohanlal emotionally spoke about his mother, saying, "When my mother speaks, it's not clear now. But we can understand. In the past, whenever we were shooting in Thiruvananthapuram, my mother would come and see us. She would ask me why I was fighting like this. The fight scenes were very dangerous."
During the Mother's Day episode of Bigg Boss Malayalam 6, which he hosted, he had expressed his sentiments about his mother, saying"Amma, just like a tree which gives shade and chillness. Every time I get tired, I go to that chest in my mind. I can listen to that ocean of love." "Even a small hurt in my mind, Amma understands it," he added.
