💬 Recently dropped her surname “Menon”, stating she wants equality, humanity, and love — feels using a surname may contradict those values.
💬 Regarded among the higher-paid Malayalam actresses; popular in public polls (e.g. “Most Desirable Women”) — has crossover appeal.

Why She Shines

🌸 Versatile Artist – Strong in both commercial cinema and more artistic, challenging roles.
🌸 Pan-South Appeal – Works in Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, and Tamil; connects with varied audiences.
🌸 Strong Screen Presence – Commands attention even in ensemble casts.
🌸 Conscious Choices – Acts with awareness of identity, equality, roots, and public influence.
