Popular Malayalam and Telugu actress Priya Mohan, best known for her roles in 'The Campus', 'Valiyangadi', and 'Utharam Parayaathe', has revealed her ongoing health struggles that have kept her away from the public eye.
Together with her husband Nihal Pillai, she runs the beloved YouTube channel Oru Happy Family. But recently, fans noticed their reduced activity — and now, the couple has shared the deeply personal reason behind it.
Diagnosed after 1.5 years of unseen pain
Priya Mohan disclosed that she has been silently battling fibromyalgia — a chronic condition that causes widespread body pain, fatigue, and tenderness. For the past one and a half years, she had been experiencing occasional body pain that was often brushed off by others as simple laziness or tiredness.
Nihal recalls that stress worsened her symptoms, and despite visible signs like swelling around her cheeks and eyes, they did not prioritize medical diagnosis due to their busy schedules.
It wasn't until the condition escalated dramatically that they fully grasped the severity.

I wasn't able to place my foot and climb into a slightly elevated vehicle. To get up from the bed or even to slightly turn, I needed someone's help. I couldn't even pick up a glass or a plate with my hand. So many times, I wondered why I was even living like this. Along with this came deep depression and sleeplessness.
I've sat awake until six in the morning without sleeping.'
When simple tasks became struggles
Sharing emotional anecdotes, Nihal recounted how Priya, though appearing healthy, began facing difficulty with everyday tasks. Getting into a slightly elevated vehicle like an Innova became a painful challenge. One particularly alarming incident occurred when Priya slipped and fell in the bathroom and found herself unable to get up on her own. This moment, they admit, was a turning point that forced them to acknowledge the gravity of her condition.
After the actress has disclosed her health condition, several of her well-wishers have shared heartfelt messages of support and encouragement.
