Sreerekha pens a heart-touching tribute to Santhosh Nair, says, 'He was someone who loved life deeply'

The shocking demise of actor Santhosh Nair has left the entire entertainment industry in deep sorrow. The actor met with an accident on Tuesday (May 5) when his car lost control and hit a lorry. Social media is flooded with tributes for the versatile actor, who played villainous roles and the hero’s sidekick in a handful of movies.




Actress and former Bigg Boss Malayalam contestant Sreerekha has penned a heart-touching note for the departed soul. She shared the screen with Santhosh in his last movie, Mohiniyattam, and has also shared a picture of him that she clicked during the film’s promotions.




“This is a cherished photo of dear Santosh Ettan that I captured on my phone during a brief break amid the busy promotions of the movie Mohiniyattam. He was immensely happy to receive the audience’s heartfelt appreciation and recognition. Isn’t that the greatest wish of every artist — to find a place in the hearts of the audience?” she wrote.



“It is hard to believe that Santosh Ettan has left us without waiting to embrace more opportunities and recognition. The last time we met before parting ways, we spoke at length about acting and life experiences. He was someone who loved life deeply. Heartfelt tributes,” Sreerekha added.



In Mohiniyattam, Santhosh Nair played the character of a temple committee member with a tinge of humour and villainy.




Actress Sreerekha was one of the contestants in the sixth season of Bigg Boss Malayalam. After the show, she is seen busy with her movie projects.
