Mohanlal's maternal uncle Gopinathan Nair, who gave him his name, passes away at 93
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Malayalam cinema's beloved icon Mohanlal may be known across the world today, but few know the touching story behind his name. It wasn't his parents who named him — the honour goes to his maternal uncle, Gopinathan Nair. As reported by On Manorama, at a time when the family was leaning toward naming the baby Roshan Lal, it was Nair who suggested 'Mohanlal', believing it had a charm and uniqueness that would stand the test of time. His instinct proved prophetic. Mohanlal would later say that the name never gave him trouble — even when it stood out for being uncommon. A life rooted in simplicity and service Gopinathan Nair led a life of deep commitment and humility. He served as the general manager of the Alappuzha District Cooperative Bank and later chose a spiritually fulfilling path by becoming a full-time resident of Mata Amritanandamayi's ashram in Amritapuri. For the past 14 years, he lived there in devotion and service. It was also Nair who introduced Mohanlal to Mata Amritanandamayi, a connection the actor has held close over the years.

Did You Know? Mohanlal owns a sky-high apartment in Dubai's Burj Khalifa
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is known for his towering presence on screen, but did you know he also owns a piece of the tallest building in the world? As reported by NDTV, The veteran actor earlier purchased a one-bedroom apartment on the 29th floor of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Spread across 940 sq ft, the apartment offers a breathtaking view of the Dubai Fountain and the bustling city below. Estimated at around Rs 3.5 crore (roughly 2.8 million dirhams), the property is registered in the name of his wife, Suchitra Mohanlal. A decision made on the spot According to the reports, the decision to buy the Burj Khalifa apartment wasn't pre-planned. It happened spontaneously during one of Mohanlal's visits to Dubai — a city he often frequents for both work and leisure. This isn't his only home in the UAE either. The actor also owns a villa in the posh Arabian Ranches neighbourhood and a spacious three-bedroom apartment in PR Heights Residence. Interestingly, the Burj Khalifa featured prominently in one of Mohanlal's earlier films, Casanova, which was shot in Dubai. Meanwhile, back home in Kerala… While Mohanlal enjoys a luxurious lifestyle abroad, his films continue to draw massive crowds in Kerala. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Keep Your Home Efficient with This Plug-In elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo The recent re-release of his 2007 hit 'Chotta Mumbai' has brought fans back to theatres in droves. Packed shows, cheers, and celebration prove one thing: whether on the 29th floor in Dubai or on the big screen in Fort Kochi, Mohanlal still reigns supreme. Mohanlal also made his grand comeback with Tharun Moorthy's film 'Thudarum' which earned a solid 3 star out of 5 from ETimes with our official review reading, 'Jakes Bejoy's music elevates the scenes, making a real impact in the storytelling. Shaji Kumar's cinematography is excellent and it is perfectly coordinated with the edits by Shafeeque VB and Nishadh Yusuf. Their collective work lay the ground for the mood of the film. Tharun, whose last film Saudi Vellakka won a National Awards, could have done better to have created a more subtle story; this very much has an '80s-'90s feel. For Mohanlal fans, his raw magnetism might be exciting, but with its loud and overwritten scenes, the acting lacks nuance all around.'
