Malavika Mohanan in regal blue lehenga choli will take your breath away

A trailblazer that she is, Malavika Mohanan delights, whether it’s stamping a lasting impression on screen or fashioning a poignancy off-screen with her keen fashion sensibilities. Her lithe frame, flawless skin, long tresses and an exceptional perception of fashion around her is what renders her as a much sought after showstopper for eminent fashion designers at fashion weeks. Malavika stuns in her new photoshoot gearing to celebrate the festival of lights that allow her eyes to do all the talking.

So, will this Deepavali be all about lighting lamps or bursting crackers for her? “I was the kind who used to light up crackers,” she says with a laugh, “While my friends would go for flower pots, I used to like bombs and rockets and that 1000walas. But I stopped bursting crackers almost seven years ago. I think it was more to do with celebrating Deepavali sustainably. Also, for me, the festival was all about spending a lot of time with family and friends. This year, my brother is also at home.But we can’t fly down to Kerala to visit my grandparents, who live there. So, it’s just going to be us. We will be performing Lakshmi Puja on the main day. And also have some great food. Eat, pray, love… these are crucial parts of celebration this year.”

As the actress tries to juggle between Bollywood and regional cinema, she’s trying hard to break her mould and emerge as a performer irrespective of any languages. While her ramp walks are our personal favourites, we are dying to see her chemistry with Vijay (Master) and what she has in store for us in future. Till then, let’s keep staring at her new stunning pictures and fall in love with her all over again.
