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.
