Last days at home in Kochi
Santhakumari had been staying at Mohanlal's residence in Elamakkara, Kochi, where she was receiving medical care. Family sources said her health had deteriorated gradually due to old age, and she had been under treatment for a long time.
Family history and earlier bereavements
She was the wife of Viswanathan Nair, who passed away earlier. The family had suffered another major loss in 2000, when Mohanlal's elder brother Pyarilal died. With Santhakumari's demise, the actor has lost a central figure in his personal life.
A mother's influence beyond the home
Those close to the family say Santhakumari was a strong emotional pillar for Mohanlal throughout his journey in cinema. The actor has often spoken about her influence on his life and career, crediting her guidance and support during important phases.
Sharing honours and personal moments
In a recent interaction, Mohanlal had reflected on how meaningful it was for him to share his Dadasaheb Phalke Award with his mother. He had said it was a matter of great fortune, adding that the first person he went to after receiving news of the honour was her.
