The engagement of Govind Padmasurya and serial star Gopika Anil was shocking to the Malayalees. The ceremony was held in Kozhikode in the presence of close relatives and friends. When the engagement pictures of those who never thought they would ever get together came out, everyone was surprised at first. Some even mistook it for a photo shoot. The fans realized that the actual engagement took place when the two of them read the title of the film and the pictures were shared by the stars. Gopika was asked how it was possible to get engaged in such a happy way just days after the departure of the director who made her career in the serial by giving her the role of Anjali. Also, there were reports that Gopika will no longer act as her marriage has been confirmed.
Gopika and Govind Padmasurya have come with the answer. “The director of Santhvanam passes away four days before our function.” It was a big shock. It was a big shock for me too. The previous day, Gopika had called me and said that Adityan sir had blessed me and said best wishes for the engagement. Our engagement was four days after this death. I even thought of calling off the engagement. Gopika was asked about the same.’
‘But speaking at my house and at Gopika’s house, they could not even think of postponement. Then some people were invited to participate in the ceremony. Many of my own relatives have come from Jaipur. There were even some old people in this group.’ ‘What will you tell them? I wondered if they would understand if I told them. If it is to be conducted, it is important to conduct this program with full heart. Or put it aside. When I thought about it, I realized that there was only way to go ahead with the program. It was a big challenge.’
Because I thought that it would be fine if Gopika came after meeting Adityan sir. But even after seeing her, Gopika was crying on the phone for an hour and a half. The next day was in the same trouble. Gopika said that the face does not leave her mind when she closes her eyes. And my hope was in our friends. They all went to Gopika’s house and made her okay’,’ Gopika is not going to stop acting just because she got engaged but she will not be Anjali if she stops consoling her. Gopika will appear before you as Anjali. Don’t take it from anywhere and put it on my head. Let Gopika act as much as she wants.
