Malayalam actress Anushree's father once cried in public. What had happened after her film debut and what caused pain to her family?
Synopsis Anusree, a Malayalam actress, overcame initial disapproval from her hometown after her film debut. Despite facing negative comments and emotional strain on her parents, especially her father's silent suffering, she persevered. Her father's eventual pride in her achievements marks a positive turn in her journey, as she continues to build a successful cinematic career. Anusree's Rise Through Struggles: From Small-Town Rejections to Cinematic Success Malayalam actress Anusree entered the film world with unshakeable optimism and aspirations that reached for the skies. Lacking any background or family ties to the film industry, she managed to secure her breakthrough purely through talent. It was on an acting-based reality television program that she first caught the discerning eye of acclaimed director Lal Jose, who was serving as one of the show's judges. Recognizing her potential, Lal Jose cast her in his 2012 film Diamond Necklace, where she played one of the three lead female characters opposite established actor Fahadh Faasil. This debut marked the start of her journey in cinema, and from that point on, she went on to feature in a series of significant roles in Malayalam films, gradually building her place in the the promising start and initial recognition, the road ahead wasn't free of emotional setbacks. In a recent interview with Ginger Media Entertainments, Anusree opened up about the emotional burden she experienced after entering the spotlight. She revealed that the environment in her native place was less than supportive during the early days of her film career. People who had once been close to her, including friends she had grown up with, began speaking negatively behind her back. At that time, society's attitude toward a woman striving to make her mark in the entertainment industry was not as accepting as it is today. She found herself struggling with confusion and hurt, unsure of how to communicate her emotions. Her close friends, all hailing from her town, were difficult to approach, and she felt as though some might have been silently judging her as well. These cruel comments didn't just affect Anusree—some of them made their way to her parents, inflicting silent pain. Her parents, trying to shield her from hurt, rarely confronted her with the rumors or harsh words. Yet, the effects were visible. Her father, in particular, kept his feelings bottled up, often sharing his concerns only with her mother. When her mother would relay what the community was saying, Anusree found it difficult to comprehend the harshness and wondered how people could be so unkind. At one point, the situation became so unbearable that she even suggested relocating to a new home. However, her father refused to abandon their roots and insisted on staying in their hometown despite the emotional incident that remains etched in Anusree's memory is when her father's stoic facade finally cracked. During the filming of a televised interview, he broke down in front of the camera, overcome by the weight of unspoken pain and criticism his daughter had endured. That emotional moment served as a wake-up call for Anusree, making her realize how much her father had been silently enduring for her sake. Thankfully, the situation has taken a positive turn over time. Today, her father no longer carries that emotional burden alone—he takes pride in her achievements and the recognition she has recent years, Anusree has continued to appear in well-received Malayalam films. She was recently seen in director Jis Joy's Thalavan, featuring Asif Ali, and in Kadha Innuvare, a film led by Biju Menon and directed by Vishnu Mohan. Her journey from a small-town girl facing skepticism to a respected actress proves not only her resilience but also her commitment to her passion.

Anusree recalls her father breaking down in public after hearing what people were saying about her: ‘I even asked if we should shift houses'
Although she entered the film industry with a happy heart and tall dreams, it didn't take long for the smile on Malayalam actor Anusree's face to start fading. With no prior connections to the industry, Anusree broke into the world of cinema by catching the attention of veteran filmmaker Lal Jose, who was judging an acting reality show in which she was a contestant. Soon after, she landed the opportunity to debut in his directorial Diamond Necklace (2012), playing one of the three central female characters opposite Fahadh Faasil. Since then, she has gone on to play notable roles in many Malayalam films. Nonetheless, she recently revealed that her hometown wasn't very welcoming when she first entered the industry. Anusree shared that even some of her so-called friends began speaking behind her back. 'When I first entered the film industry, people weren't as encouraging to a girl trying to make her mark as they are today. Back then, it was painful to hear certain things and I didn't know whom to talk to about it. My friends were all from my hometown. I didn't know how to explain things to them. Maybe some of them were among those criticising me too,' she said during a chat with Ginger Media Entertainments, adding that it was Lal Jose who helped her navigate those difficult times. A post shared by Anusree Nair (@anusree_luv) A post shared by Anusree Nair (@anusree_luv) A post shared by Anusree Nair (@anusree_luv) Anusree further revealed that such unfair remarks eventually reached her parents, causing them considerable distress. However, in an effort to protect her, they often kept these things to themselves. Sharing how the negativity took a toll on her father, the actor said: 'He would never say anything to me directly. He'd share it with my mother instead. When she told me what people were saying, I used to wonder how they could be so cruel. At one point, I even asked if we should shift houses. But my father never wanted to leave our hometown.' Despite his efforts to stay strong, Anusree recalled a moment when her father could no longer hold back his emotions and broke down in public. 'Once during an interview shoot, my father broke down because of what people said about me. That's when I realised how much he had been silently bearing. But today, he's proud of me.' Anusree's most recent film appearances include director Jis Joy's Asif Ali-starrer Thalavan, and Vishnu Mohan's Biju Menon-led Kadha Innuvare. Opening up about what she hopes for in a life partner, the 34-year-old actor said: 'What I love most is acting. As long as I'm healthy, I want someone who won't place restrictions on me and will allow me to continue acting. When someone gets married at 23, they naturally begin imagining a life in a new household. I stayed back here for ten more years, and now I'm 34. After living here till 34, I don't feel like going somewhere else. So now I think-why not find someone who's willing to come here instead? I'm the youngest in the family, so I don't want a guy who's going to make me set up a new house elsewhere. I'll tell them straight, 'You don't need to set up a separate home-just come and live in mine.' If I find someone like that, I'll tell my mother.'
