It is true that all the five children in the family sitcom Uppam Mulkum have impressed the audience and won fans across age groups. However, for Malayali audiences, it is Theteem Muttim's Meenakshi and Kannan, sitting in 2012, which effectively portrayed a picture of childhood innocence, nothingness and family bonding. From portraying a rebellious young girl Meenakshi as an expectant mother on the same show, young actress Bhagyalakshmi Prabhu has come a long way through Thatim Muttem. In real life, the lonely girl is a nurse by profession in a private hospital in Kottayam. She feels great that she can give life at various stages in a woman's life through the show. There is, of course, a question that he often comes across now, Meenakshiksu Moral Masam Ayi? Her character is two months old and the show has fun examples of the lives of new-age parents and their family members. Bhagyalakshmi says that when the episode of Meenakshi's wedding aired, it was a little difficult to convince the audience that she is alone in real life!
The actress says, "Many believed it was my real wedding!" My real-life brother Siddharth plays my on-screen sibling Kannan, and people used to ask him about my marriage. Some people also asked me. I used to calmly tell them that this is my character, who has entered wedlock, not me. Bhagyalakshmi gets all chirpy while talking about Meenakshi's recent pregnancy episode. "Now he also has a baby bump. I used to roam freely on the set wearing my fake belly, and would often bump into people. Many technicians mistook me for an actual pregnant woman and they apologized first, and laughed once to find out the truth. "Had a lot of fun, people used to find her baby while working in her hospital too.
"Some elderly women have asked me where my child is? Episodes featuring Meenakshi's pregnancy are also fun, and they sarcasm at many social perceptions and wishes of new-age parents. She says the role has also given her an insight on marriage and motherhood. "When Meenakshi's wedding was shooting, I was thinking what it would be like in my life. In real life, I am a lot smarter than Meenakshi, so while applying certain situations, she gave me a chance to think about how I would react to such situations when I was in real life. Also, I wore a red color saree during my on-screen wedding, and my mother has already decided that she will choose some more color for my wedding saree when it is real.
