Meanwhile, Sangeetha, talking about the movie, spoke about falling sick on the sets of Hridayapoorvam.
She said, “I was running a fever, and the team brought in a doctor to give me an injection. Since it was late, I was told to rest in the same room where Lalettan was staying,” he said. What followed, he described as unforgettable. “He walked in, asked the doctor about my medicines, then came to me, stood nearby, caressed my hair for almost 20 seconds, and told me to rest. My eyes welled up. He even insisted that the day’s shoot be cancelled and continued only the next morning.”
