Malavika Mohanan starts initiative to educate children from tribal communities

Malavika Mohanan starts initiative to educate children from tribal communities

The coronavirus pandemic has been harsh on all sections of society, but it has been harsher on various tribal communities. Ever since the pandemic began, a number of individuals and organisations have come forward to lend their helping hand to these communities. While some took the responsibility of supplying ration and food packets, others decided to provide them with necessary medicines.

Now, popular actress Malavika Mohanan has also joined the league to do her bit. She has started an initiative to provide education to children in tribal communities in Kerala. Talking to Instagram, she wrote, “This is something that has been very close to my heart since I first visited the tribal communities in Wayanad back in 2015. I want to help them get educated, empower them so that they can carve a better future for themselves and help their poverty-stricken families and community as they do not have access to even basic healthcare and education.”


She continued, “I am trying to raise these funds to educate children in these tribal areas of Wayanad, Kerala. There is a dire need for smartphones and laptops for students of the Odappallam High School, Wayanad, Kerala, who belong to the 22 tribal communities from around there. Because of the lockdown, the only way for them to continue their education is through online studies. With your donations, we will be able to provide at least 1 laptop and 1 smartphone for each tribal community, which will benefit 221 students in all. Our dream is to ensure each child gets one device to study, but we know that even these 2 devices shared by 10 children is a great start. I am grateful to you & appeal to your beautiful hearts to donate. Every rupee counts (sic).”

On the work front, Malavika Mohanan next stars in an untitled Tamil film, which Karthick Naren is directing. She has also signed Excel Entertainment’s Bollywood film Yudhra, co-starring Siddhant Chaturvedi.

Amanda Holden is fronting a new Netflix series that puts relationships to the test in a way reality TV hasn’t quite done before. Cheat: Unfinished Business gathers eight couples at a villa in Majorca, all of them trying to pick up the pieces after cheating rocked their relationships.

This isn’t a show about swiping right or looking for love. It’s about what happens after the damage is done, and whether anything can actually be salvaged. Teaming up with relationship expert Paul C. Brunson, known for Married at First Sight UK, Holden helps guide couples through awkward conversations, emotional exercises and confrontations that go far beyond the usual reality drama. It's raw, and sometimes, painfully honest.

Malavika Mohanan slams South cinema’s ‘navel obsession’, opens up on years of body shaming

Malavika Mohanan, a prominent actress in Indian cinema, recently shed light on the body shaming and unrealistic beauty standards she has faced throughout her career in both Bollywood and South Indian films. In a candid interview, she opened up about her experience with criticism related to her body, which ranged from being too skinny to too curvy, and discussed how she struggled to meet the industry's expectations of female beauty.

Growing up in Mumbai, Malavika was initially taken aback by the intense focus on certain body features, particularly the navel, in South Indian cinema. "I had never seen such an obsession before," she admitted, highlighting how images of actresses on social media would zoom in on specific body parts. She described the emphasis on the navel as a "real thing" in the industry, which was completely new to her.
