Suresh Gopi
has spoken out in support of actress
Anupama Parameswaran
after she revealed the discrimination and trolling she endured in the Malayalam film industry.
Anupama had recently shared in a promotional event for the 'JSK' movie how several within the industry had dismissed her acting abilities, while she also faced harsh online trolling from within the Malayalam-speaking community.
'Anupama spoke from the heart,' says Suresh Gopi
As reported by On Manorama, reacting to her emotional statements, Suresh Gopi said, 'Anupama spoke from the heart… And this is not the first time something like this has happened, Anupama.' He pointed out that this pattern of overlooking talent isn't new in Malayalam cinema. Drawing from past examples, he cited actress Simran, who was once ignored by the Malayalam industry, only to later become a sought-after name.
'I know the truth—Simran was one such actress who was disregarded and let go by the Malayalam industry. But later, I personally know of top directors who went after her, hoping to cast her as the lead in Malayalam films,' he said.

Love or scam? NEET UG 2025 topper features in multiple coaching centre ads; social media questions the rationale

A viral video has sparked a funny yet serious debate in the coaching world. Keshav Mittal, a 17-year-old from Punjab's Barnala, topped NEET UG 2025 with All India Rank 7 in his first try. Now, three big coaching centres, Allen, Motion and Narayana, are all claiming him as their student. Each institute shared congratulatory posts, proudly linking Keshav's success to their teaching. This has confused everyone and created a storm on social media. Memes and jokes are everywhere, with people asking how one student can belong to three rival institutes at once. 'It's love, not a scam. Coaching people for Keshav,' wrote the X (formerly Twitter) user who shared the viral video. 'Everyone has shared it on their own Instagram and Facebook. I've lost trust in all these institutes — when they're the ones doing scams, what will happen to the students?' reacted one user. One user clarified, 'This child was a regular classroom student in one coaching centre, and had joined the test series in another coaching centre.' 'It's also possible that Keshav's family might have taken money and sold the rank to the coaching institute for publicity,' alleged another user. One user wrote, 'Can't you even understand something as simple as this: students take tests from different coaching centres, sometimes they even take coaching from different places.' Keshav Mittal, a 17-year-old student from Tapa town in Punjab's Barnala district, has secured All-India Rank 7 in the NEET UG exam. He has scored 680 out of 720 marks. This was his first attempt at the national medical entrance test, and he is the highest scorer from Punjab this year. Keshav studied at DM Public Senior Secondary School in Karar Wala, Bathinda. He took coaching from a private institute in Chandigarh, according to HT. Keshav followed a daily study routine of 8 to 9 hours. The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts NEET every year, announced the results on June 14.

Throwback: When Mohanlal's headstand pose went viral on International Yoga Day

(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) As the world celebrates International Yoga Day today, let's take a look at the time Mohanlal, the "Complete Actor" of Mollywood, made headlines with his awe-inspiring headstand pose (Shirshasana) that took the internet by storm. 'To celebrate mind, body...' Back in 2017, Mohanlal shared a striking image on Facebook where he was seen balancing flawlessly in a Shirshasana. Known for his agility and body control even in his 50s, the image showcased not just his physical flexibility but also his deep commitment to the ancient discipline of yoga. Alongside the photo, he captioned, 'To celebrate mind, body and soul – practice Yoga. #Yogaday.' Kannappa - Official Kannada Trailer Netizens react - Even 22 year old me can't do this... The post instantly went viral, receiving massive attention from fans and fitness enthusiasts. With over 47,000 likes, thousands of comments, and countless shares, the photo quickly became a motivational symbol of strength and balance. One comment read, "22 വയസ് ആയ എനിക്ക് പോലും ഇത് പോലെ ചെയ്യാൻ പറ്റില്ല എന്നിട്ട് ഏട്ടന് ഇ പ്രയത്തില്ലും ഇത് ചെയ്യാൻ കഴിയുന്നു ലാലേട്ടാ നിങ്ങൾ annuu super star..... Waiting 4 villain. .." Another one wrote, "ഈ പ്രായത്തിലും ഇങ്ങനെയൊക്കെ കാണിക്കണമെങ്കിൽ ആളുടെ പേര് മോഹൻലാൽ എന്നായിരിക്കണം.(To be able to pull off something like this even at this age, the person's name has to be Mohanlal.)" A fitness icon at any age Mohanlal's dedication to fitness is no secret in the industry. Directors and co-actors have often praised his youthful energy and ability to perform physically demanding roles with ease. In 2021, Mohanlal once again used Yoga Day as an opportunity to advocate for mental and physical well-being. That year, he shared a peaceful photo of himself in meditation, encouraging fans to embrace yoga as part of their daily routine. His caption read, 'Practice Yoga for a healthy life #InternationalDayOfYoga #YogaDay.' These moments show that for Mohanlal, yoga is not just an occasional display but a way of life. Whether performing a difficult headstand or sitting in calm reflection, he continues to inspire millions to find balance, discipline, and peace through yoga. Work front On the work front, Mohanlal was last seen in 'Thudarum' which earned 3 stars out of 5 from ETimes, and our review read, "Jakes Bejoy's music elevates the scenes, making a real impact in the storytelling. Shaji Kumar's cinematography is excellent and it is perfectly coordinated with the edits by Shafeeque VB and Nishadh Yusuf. Their collective work lay the ground for the mood of the film. Tharun, whose last film Saudi Vellakka won a National Awards, could have done better to have created a more subtle story; this very much has an '80s-'90s feel. For Mohanlal fans, his raw magnetism might be exciting, but with its loud and overwritten scenes, the acting lacks nuance all around."
