Prithviraj Sukumaran's wife Supriya Menon exposes troll who has been harassing her since 2018: ‘I let it be as she has a young son'
Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran's wife, producer Supriya Menon, has been a victim of online trolls and harassment since 2018. She broke her silence on Tuesday by tagging the woman who created multiple accounts on Instagram to target her. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Supriya shared a photo of the woman targeting her. She also penned a note which read: 'Meet Christinaeldo. She has been passing nasty comments on most accounts which post something about me. She would constantly make fake accounts and post and I continued to block her.' She added, 'I found out who she is years ago but let it be as she has a young son. But even that filter she has on is not enough to hide the ugliness she holds inside and spews at me since 2018.' She even targeted Surpriya's late father. This is what ultimately prompted Supriya to expose her.

According to Times of India, Christin is a nurse and a resident of Chattanooga in America. Supriya Menon was a business journalist before being assigned to cover Malayalam cinema. Unaware of the new beat, Supriya sought the help of her friend, who handed her the number of Prithviraj Sukumaran, claiming he might be a help to her. And this changed their lives forever. In 2011, Supriya tied the knot with Prithviraj and quit journalism to become a producer in Malayalam film industry. However, despite producing several successful Malayalam films, including Prithviraj's latest L2: Empuraan, Supriya still struggles to find her individuality as she is addressed as Prithviraj Sukumar's wife. In an interview with Film Companion South, she shared, 'I achieved my professional position without anyone's recommendation. It was a job and career I earned on my own. But now, as a producer, there are many privileges. Everyone now knows me as the wife of Prithviraj, the actor who carved his own path and moved forward. But even in this, I have my struggles. Because I am now trying to make people understand that I am Supriya.' She added, 'People should see me as a separate individual. I constantly try to make people understand that they shouldn't confuse me with Prithviraj. I don't want to be known as 'his wife', 'his mother', 'his daughter'. I am preparing to create my own name. The reason I have confidence is my father. My parents didn't raise me in a cage. They gave me the courage to create my own wings and fly.'

Meet actor who quit movies after flop debut, fought depression, later won National Award, worked in highest-grossing film, his name is...
A misconception that often remains in the audience's mind is that if an actor comes from a background of actors, then they have an upper hand in the entertainment industry. These people are called the nepo kids of Indian cinema. However, in some cases, these preconceived notions fail. Today, we will discuss an actor who made a disappointing start in the industry with his debut film. However, he rose to fame with his own efforts, despite his father being one of the known producers in the South. This actor has battled depression and has been diagnosed with Adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). He publicly opened up about his disorder and gave a platform to other actors to be vocal about their mental health issues. If you are wondering which actor we are talking about, then he is Pushpa fame Fahadh Faasil. Fahadh, born to filmmaker Fazil, made his debut in 2002 with his father's film, Kaiyethum Doorath. In the film, Fahadh worked with Nikita Thukral, under the stage name Shaanu. The movie was a huge failure. As per News18, reports claim that following his film's failure, Fahadh went into depression. In one of the interviews, Fahadh said that after the failed debut, he went to the US to pursue his studies, wishing never to return to films. He told Film Companion South, 'I was there for eight years or so. When I came back to Kerala, I had to find a job… I needed to do something to earn a living. The only close circle of friends I had were working in the cinema. So I started interacting with them and getting involved in the writing process. That's when my first acting opportunity came for the segment Mrityunjayam in the anthology film Kerala Cafe. I wasn't serious about it at all. Upon seeing that, Sameer Thahir called me for Chaappa Kurishu.' Later, Fahadh made his comeback in films with the film Kerala Cafe. The movie was a huge hit. Then, in the following years, Fahadh featured in a number of movies such as Diamond Necklace, 22 Female Kottayam, and more. He also received the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor with his performance in Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum. Fahadh featured in the Pushpa franchise, which turned out to be a massive hit worldwide.
