In his recent note shared on Sunday, May 5, Manoj K. Jayan stated that it was painful to see people mocking his wife. He emphasized that for Asha, who lost her father at the age of 15, his own father wasn't just a father-in-law but a paternal figure. Manoj K. Jayan spoke about how his wife took care of his father over the years and how she even made up for all the shortcomings from his side as well. “There is no point in saying anything to people who don't understand the value and warmth of relationships and ridicule and criticize anything. She is not a daughter-in-law in my family. It's saddening how some can ridicule even a daughter's deep love for her father. But it's a natural, deep relationship. She is the only one who knows her loss.” Manoj K. Jayan also shared the pictures his wife took with his father over the span of 13 years, and the pictures resonate with the depth and warmth of the father-daughter bond. Check out Manoj K.
