Most of actor Prathap Pothen’s friends and colleagues in the film industry fondly recalled that he was a jolly-good guy, always in good spirits and full of laughter. And yet, Mr. Pothen, going by his social media feed, was in the recent past deeply reflective about death, life and existence.
After the news of his death became public, Mr. Pothen’s posts and comments on social media were widely acknowledged by movie-lovers to suggest that he may have had an inkling about his impending death.
Responding to a comment made by one of his fans, asking what the purpose of life could be, in response to his Facebook post that ‘multiplication is the name of the game (presumably life)’, Mr. Pothen said, “I wish I knew...but right now I think it’s just surviving.”
