After the Screen-Videocon Awards 1997 Manju Warrier (Malayalam) had to board a train at 7 pm to be at Trissur the next morning for her pre-degree final examination. But the committed young lady that she is, Manju arrived at the venue by six in the evening, received her award and rushed off. This is Manju’s second award - she was the winner last year, too. Manju’s mundu and neriyathu was not to be missed. |

Indiainfo.com interviews Divya Unni
The retirement of Manju Warrier after her marriage has created a vacuum in the Malayalam movie field. Has it helped other newcomers? How do you view this?
Yes, the retirement of Manjuchechi was a great loss. It did create a void. She was a talented artiste, a gifted dancer. She was a trendsetter. When she proved to be a big success, filmmakers tried to bring in new teenage faces, taking a cue. That is why actresses like Kaveri, many others and myself reached the film field. In my opinion, she should have stayed for some more time.
But one hears that she is leading a happy life at home?
That is exactly what I am saying. See, you cannot make a sincere comment. There will be unthought-of meanings for that. 'Let her live the way she likes' may be the disposition of many people. And if I say her decision to retire was a right one, the very same people may conclude that I am jealous of Manjuchechi, you know!
