The actress has shared a few throwback pictures and penned her emotions. Her caption read, “Twenty years ago, on this day I walked into the sets of Malayalam movie ‘NAMMAL’ my debut movie-Directed by Kamal sir-and I became ‘Parimalam’ (My character name )A slum dweller who talks in thrissur slang! I still remember the way I sulked when they finished my Make-up, saying No one’s gonna recognize me. I was a child myself and I did it anyway. But now I know, I couldn’t have asked for a better debut !!So many successes, so many failures, setbacks, pain, happiness, love, friendships…but all of these shaped me into the person I am today. I’m still learning and unlearning so much!”

She further added, “When I pause for a second and look back, all I’m feeling is ‘GRATITUDE’ And I continue this journey with that same gratitude and the same fear that I had in me as a newcomer! And I’m so excited for the journey ahead of me! Also, we miss you jishnu cheat. PS: That smile on my dad’s face is priceless and I miss that. Thank you @jayaprakash_payyanur for the pics. It’s pure Gold!”

The actress is set to return to Malayalam films after a five-year hiatus with Ntikkakkakkoru Premondaarnn, written and directed by debutant Adhil Maimoonath Ashraf. Sharafudheen will also appear in the film.
