However, she had also admitted that her feelings for him had changed after she had watched him in Ente Mammattikuttiyammakku. Suchitra had said:
"When I saw him in the first movie 'Manjil Virinja Pookkal', I hated him. I used to hate him whenever he featured the role of a villain. But I knew that I disliked him because he was so perfect in his job. After watching 'Ente Mammattikuttiyammakku', I started to like him. Slowly, I fell in love with him and we got married. Today, he is my favourite actor."

The South Indian superstar, Mohanlal shares a close-knit bond with his son, Pranav Mohanlal and daughter, Vismaya Mohanlal, and we have witnessed it time and again through their family pictures on their respective social media handles. However, on January 28, 2020, Mohanlal's write up by the name, Pallunkumanikal had published in Mathrubhumi Daily, in which he had shared his pain of missing out on Pranav and Vismaya's special moments and important days during their childhood because of professional commitments. He had written:
"During my busy schedule as an actor, I missed my children's childhood. I failed to enjoy their childhood and never tried to know about their school days. Because I was too busy in the industry and I forgot myself with the engagements. I was running from one set to another for the shootings."
Going further in his write-up, Mohanlal had also admitted that while he was hustling in his career and had given no time to his kids, and he had never thought about the regret he would face in the future. Because at that time, he was very much into his work. However, he respects how his wife, Suchitra, used to warn him time and again about the regret that he would face in the future if he continues to miss out on their kids' childhood. He had penned:
"My wife used to tell me that there is no retake for the growth, fun and smile of the children. It will be over soon, and as a father, I will regret over missing it."
The legendary actor, Mohanlal never skips a chance to be with his kids and wife, Suchitra Mohanlal as he had learned the lesson about life, and he no longer spends most of his time in his work. We hope he continues to thrive both on professional and personal fronts.
