Supriya Menon pens emotional note for Prithviraj Sukumaran

On Tuesday, Surpiya posted two pictures of her holding Prithviraj close and wrote, “In less than 12 hours Empuraan will be handed over to the audiences worldwide. It’s been a journey like no other and I am glad I got a ring side view!” She then wrote about how she had seen Prithviraj on countless hours of ‘writing, rewriting, discussions’ and more for the film, adding that it was only possible to make this film due to his ‘vision’ and ‘leadership’.

Recalling him telling her how he envisioned more for Malayalam cinema, she added, “Since we met in 2006 you’ve been telling me about your dream to take Malayalam cinema places and now we are at that very cusp! Whatever happens tomorrow (27th March) I will always be behind you, cheering and supporting you on as you push forth towards your goals as is evident in this picture taken on the very last day of shoot.”

Supriya ended the note with, “You are not Illuminati my friend but are my ahangaari, thaantoni, thandedi (prideful, stubborn, adamant) husband! I know how much people have ridiculed you and the audacity of your dreams. To all of those naysayers I have only one thing to say “Aalarinjyu Kalikyada” (Know who you’re playing against)!”

Prithviraj re-shared the post on his Instagram stories and replied, “Could never have pulled this off without you by my side! (heart emojis)” He married Supriya in 2011 and they welcomed their daughter Alankrita in 2014.
