From winning prestigious beauty pageants to delivering stellar performances on the silver screen, Meenakshi’s journey is a testament to her talent and determination.

Malavika Mohanan: A Rising Star Across Indian Cinema

Malavika Mohanan, born on August 4, 1993, in Payyanur, Kerala, is a talented Indian actress who has captivated audiences with her performances in Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi cinema. As the daughter of acclaimed cinematographer K.U. Mohanan, Malavika has carved a unique space for herself in the film industry, proving her mettle as a versatile performer.


Early Life and Education

Although born in Kerala, Malavika grew up in Mumbai, where she completed her bachelor’s degree in Mass Media from Wilson College. Her foray into acting was serendipitous; she was accompanying her father on a commercial shoot when she crossed paths with veteran actor Mammootty. This encounter led to her debut role opposite his son, Dulquer Salmaan, in the Malayalam film “Pattam Pole” (2013).


Acting Career: A Blend of Talent and Versatility

Malayalam Cinema

Malavika began her acting journey with the romantic drama “Pattam Pole”. Although her debut received mixed reviews, she gained critical acclaim with her role in “Nirnayakam” (2015). This socially relevant film showcased her acting depth and set the stage for her future endeavors.

Bollywood Breakthrough

In 2017, Malavika made her Bollywood debut with acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi’s movie “Beyond the Clouds”. Playing the character ‘Tara,’ she earned widespread praise for her authentic and emotionally powerful performance. This role highlighted her ability to take on challenging characters and brought her into the limelight on a national level.

Tamil Cinema Success

Malavika’s entry into Tamil cinema further elevated her career. She starred alongside Rajinikanth in “Petta” (2019), delivering a strong performance in the star-studded film. Her role in “Master” (2021) opposite Vijay was a commercial hit, solidifying her position as one of Tamil cinema’s prominent leading ladies.


Personal Life

Malavika is the daughter of K.U. Mohanan, an acclaimed cinematographer known for his work on films like “Don” (2006) and “Raees” (2017). Her mother, Beena Mohanan, has played a supportive role in her journey. Despite her ties to the film industry, Malavika has made a name for herself through her own talent and dedication.


Upcoming Projects

Fans of Malavika have much to look forward to, as she continues to explore diverse and challenging roles in upcoming projects. With her growing popularity, she remains a star to watch across Indian cinema.


Why Malavika Mohanan Stands Out

  1. Cinematic Legacy: Born into a family with deep ties to the film industry, Malavika combines her heritage with her own hard work to shine on the big screen.
  2. Versatility: From socially relevant roles in Malayalam films to high-profile projects in Tamil and Hindi cinema, she has showcased her range and adaptability.
  3. Charisma: Whether playing emotionally intense characters or glamorous roles, Malavika’s screen presence is undeniable.

Directed by Malayalam filmmaker Sudheesh Shankar, Maareesan released in theatres on July 25.

High Court Rejects senior IAS Sri Lakshmi’s Discharge petition From Obulapuram Mining case

Senior IAS officer Sri Lakshmi has received a major setback from the Telangana High Court in the Obulapuram Mining Company case. The High Court has ruled that Srilakshmi is an accused in the case and also rejected the discharge petition filed by her. With this verdict, the case will now go for trial in the CBI court.

The High Court took this decision after carefully considering the arguments of the CBI and the respondents. The case began in 2006 after Sri Lakshmi took charge as the Secretary of the Industries Department. The CBI has alleged that Sri Lakshmi misused her power in the Obulapuram mining lease case. 

The CBI has argued that the rules were violated in the allocation of leases and permissions were granted illegally.

 The High Court has agreed with these arguments and found that Sri Lakshmi had misused her power and committed irregularities in the allocation of mining leases, as alleged by the CBI. In this context, the High Court also considered the revision petition filed by Sri Lakshmi.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had directed the High Court to complete the hearing of the case within three months. As per these orders, the Telangana High Court completed the hearing and delivered the verdict within three months. Earlier, in 2022, the Telangana High Court had given a verdict discharging Sri Lakshmi from the case.

However, the CBI approached the Supreme Court saying that this verdict was given without considering the arguments of the respondents. With this, the Supreme Court has issued orders to the Telangana High Court to re-hear the case. In the latest hearing, the High Court has found Sri Lakshmi an accused in the Obulapuram mining case.  With this verdict, Sri Lakshmi’s discharge petition has been rejected.

Now the case will go for hearing in the CBI court. Here, a full-fledged trial will be held on the allegations against Sri Lakshmi. The Obulapuram mining case is one of the most talked about cases in Andhra Pradesh. In this case, the CBI has taken up an investigation into the nexus and irregularities between officials, politicians, and mining companies. The allegations against senior officials like Sri Lakshmi have further complicated the case.

Rahul Gandhi showered praise on Revanth Reddy For conducting caste census As Inspiring Manner

Congress supreme leader Rahul Gandhi has showered praise on the Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, saying that the caste census in Telangana was conducted in an inspiring manner. On Thursday, CM Revanth Reddy gave a keynote presentation on the caste census survey in Telangana at the new AICC office Indira Bhavan in New Delhi.

Later, Rahul Gandhi made it clear that by conducting the caste census survey in Telangana, they were able to put pressure on the central government to conduct it at the national level as well. He explained that this caste census was conducted at the field level by going door to door with 55 questions. He said that conducting a successful caste census is not that easy.

He appreciated that Congress party leaders including Revanth excelled beyond expectations. Rahul described this as a milestone for social justice in the country. On this occasion, Rahul Gandhi made it clear that there is a need to conduct a caste census across the country.

‘‘Sitting in office rooms and conducting caste census will not yield good results. About 56 questions were asked in the Telangana caste census. It stands as a guide for the caste census conducted in the country. We can do anything only if we have the right data in hand. Now Telangana has the right data in hand”, he said.

“The data is now ready up to the street level. No other state in India has data at the level of Telangana. Telangana has data that shows who owns money and land. There is a need to lift the 50 percent limit on reservations”, he added.  He accused that the BJP government will not conduct the caste census properly as it does not want to reveal the real picture of the country.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy held a special meeting with Congress Party MPs and explained the BC caste census process conducted in the state through a powerpoint presentation. He said that the BC caste census survey has been conducted in Telangana after almost a hundred years. He demanded that the Center should also consider the results of the Telangana caste census in the upcoming nationwide census.

Along with this, he urged the Congress MPs to get the Centre to approve the Telangana BC reservations Bill and take this issue up as a strong argument in Parliament. 

He said that an action plan has already been prepared to include all the opposition parties in this movement and give it more clout. CM Revanth clarified that this will serve as a guideline for the realization of BC rights not only for the Telangana state but also in the country.
