Bhavana spoke about her father and revealed how much she loved him.
There are only a few actors who manage to make a lasting impact on the audience with their first performance. Bhavana is one of them. She became a popular star in Malayalam cinema right after the release of her debut film Nammal (2002). Her portrayal of Parimalam struck a chord with the audience. Since then, she never looked back and continued to shine through her memorable performances. The actress is known for her straightforward and determined nature. Bhavana, recently, opened up about her pain after her father’s demise. In an interview with Behind Woods, Bhavana spoke about her father and revealed how much she loved him. She said, “The pain of my father’s death will always remain the same. No matter how happy you are outside, the pain inside is always the same.” Adding that it has been 8 years since her father’s demise, she noted, “Even after so many years, I have not been able to come out of that grief. Life has completely changed, but my father’s absence always haunts me. Sometimes, it’s more and other days it is less. But, the pain is the same.”
Bhavana’s father Balachandran passed away in 2015 at the age of 59. He was immediately rushed to the hospital when his health deteriorated; he was declared dead upon arrival. He was a photographer by profession. Bhavana has always expressed her love for her father, admitting that he was the prime reason why she chose dance and cinema. Balachandran had insisted Bhavana try her luck in films, after noticing her passion for acting and dance.
Soon, she made a debut in the film industry and was showered with immense love for her performance in her debut film. She bagged six film offers thereafter. Four out of these six films became resounding blockbusters. These films were Thilakkam, Chronic Bachelor, CID Moosa and Kamal’s Swapnakoodu. Her popularity knew no bounds, which led to numerous opportunities pouring in her kitty from other industries as well.
Bhavana recently mesmerised the audience with her portrayal of the female lead in Ntikkakkakkoru Premondarnn. The film was directed by Adhil M Asharaf.
