As a diligent house husband in Madhu Warrier’s Lalitham Sundaram, Saiju Kurup won the hearts of viewers. The Manju Warrier-starrer, streaming on Disney+Hotstar, evokes mixed reactions from audiences but Saiju’s flawless act as Sandeep comes up trumps.
Says the actor: “I am not a stranger to cleaning and cooking. In fact, during the lockdowns, I was doing all the washing up in the kitchen and a little cooking too. I was able to slip into the character without any difficulty.”
According to Saiju, Sandeep and he share many traits. Like Sandeep, Saiju dislikes confrontation and he says even an argument on the sets or a minor altercation on the road can upset him.
