VINDUJA Menon shone on the Kalolsavam stage of 1991, bagging what was then the topmost honour – the Kalathilakam.
VINDUJA Menon shone on the Kalolsavam stage of 1991, bagging what was then the topmost honour – the Kalathilakam. Her entry into films had come much earlier, as a child artist. After winning the coveted title, she explored cinema for a good while and is still remembered for her landmark role opposite Mohanlal in Pavithram.
As the 63rd Kalolsavam winds up, TNIE has a quick chat with Vinduja about her memories of the festival, how her life has shaped up, and her intentions regarding cinema.
What are the memories you cherish about Kalolsavam?
I won the Kalathilakam title in 1991, when Kalolsavam was held in Kasaragod. Then, after 28 years, I was invited to Kasaragod again as a chief guest for that year's Kalolsavam. My memories came flooding back, and at that moment, the true happiness and pride in my accomplishment dawned on me – it was inexplicable.
How do you view the way Kalolsavam is held now?
