Fbyil പകുതി കണ്ടിട്ട് മുഴുവൻ കാണാൻ ഓടി വന്നതാണ്... കുഞ്ഞിലേ എനിക്ക് നഷ്ടപെട്ട എന്റെ അമ്മയെ ഓർക്കാത്ത ഒരു നിമിഷം പോലും ഇല്ല... എത്രയൊക്കെ ഞാൻ നേടിയാലും അതൊക്കെ നിർവീര്യമാക്കുന്ന ഒരു വേദനയാണ് എനിക്ക് അമ്മ... സഹോദരങ്ങളെ നിങ്ങൾക് അച്ഛനും അമ്മയും ഉണ്ടെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾ ഭാഗ്യം ചെയ്ത മനുഷ്യാരാണ്... ഇനിയൊരു ജന്മം ഉണ്ടെങ്കിൽ എനിക്ക് കൂട്ടിനു അമ്മ ഉണ്ടാകണം എന്ന് മാത്രം ആഗ്രഹം 🙏👩‍👧

Yes true

[@thor_ary140]

At 21.52 The way Dhanya became speechless, Everyone might have felt the same emotion. No award is above to what He got to hear from his Mom.

[@dj-if3fl]

First time...In this program.. All her doubts.... Got clarified..... about happiness... Menon sir is a gem of person....

[@vaniviswan]

for the first time a drop of tears in my eyes after watchinng an interview... his philosophy on life and of life, on sickness, mother, fame ,work....etc are inspiring Dhanya you are the right person to interview such great personalities.... go on Kappa TV

[@shukkvlogs6147]

കരയിച്ചു കളഞ്ഞു.ജീവിതത്തിൽ ആദ്യമായിട്ടാ ഒരു Intervew കണ്ട് കരഞ്ഞത്. mr menon ur genious

[@MrSanblazer]

First thing i did was to call my mom from UK after seeing this interview..thank you menon sir and brilliant host.

[@arjunm7164]

അമ്മയെ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നവർക്കാർക്കും ഒരു ഗദ് ഗദത്തോടെ അല്ലാതെ അവസാനത്തെ ഒന്ന് രണ്ടു മിനിറ്റ് കണ്ടു തീർക്കാൻ ആവില്ല എന്ന് ഉറപ്പാണ്..

[@gokulk6784]

Dhanya doesn't agree with Balachandramenon's view on Feminism. But she is polite not to go against what he says .

[@seekzugzwangful]

ശരിയാണ്. പുള്ളി പറയുന്നത് മുഴുവൻ ശരി ആയിരിക്കില്ല. എങ്കിലും ചില കാര്യങ്ങളിൽ എനിക്ക് interesting aayi തോന്നി. 1. വിവാഹം അശാസ്ത്രീയം എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞത്. 2 ഡിവോഴ്‌സ് നല്ലത് എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞത്. 3 there is an unwanted rivalry between men and women,( meaning misogyny, misandry.).. പൊതുസമൂഹം ഇപ്പോഴും ഫെമിനിസം misandry ആയി confuse ചെയ്യുന്നതിന്റെ പ്രശ്നം ഉണ്ടെന്നെ ള്ളു

[@monajulian1264]

22:15 being a person who deals with depression, the kind of impact those words had on me is inexplicable. so glad to have watched this interview. he teaches you a new way to approach and view life.

[@christhomsonphilip]

one of your best episodes....loved it, especially the part where he mentioned about his mother... :-) keep spreading happiness Dhanya...kudos you the entire Happiness Project team.

[@annapanjikkaranfuchs7537]

He is excellent and exceptional. Only persons without character may criticize this Man.

[@saneone4453]

The most appealing aspect of Happiness Project is more of Dhanya's willingness to hear than to probe ! Not many anchors have this discernible balance. Everyone makes it their prerogative to be investigative n Sherlock-like than to be learning n understanding of the Guest who sits across. Dhanya salutte !! ( I did write about your clean diction ere too !)

[@achuaj774]

The last few minutes will always remain close to my heart about Menon sir and those will be the bestest thing I have ever heard. Thanks THP for bringing this gem, got to hear him after ages. .

[@sreerajsreeraj5449]

Great sir, നിങ്ങളെകുറിച്ചുഉം നിങ്ങളെ സിനിമയെ കുറിച്ചു ചിന്തിക്കുകയാണെങ്കിൽ nostalgia ആണ്‌ sir. ഒരു കാലഘട്ടത്തിലെ മികച്ച നടൻ, സംവിധായകൻ, കഥാകൃത് ആണ്‌ sir യുവാക്കളുടെ മനസ്സിൽ ഇപ്പോഴും.

[@PKK-MD]

Mr Menon-The master narrator, narrator par excellence of Malayalam film industry. HIs unique ability to captivate his audience through his exemplary narration skills is unmatched, and is witnessed through many of his films and in this interview, when he talks about his mother. The eloquence with which he talks about his mother with such untainted affection and devotion, is indeed a reflection of Mr Menon's personality. Undoubtedly, no story can be narrated with such alacrity, without having a personal experience and more importantly the ability to view, ponder and portray, the landscape of that experience. We are blessed to have such a fine multifaceted artist amongst us, who has enriched and enlivened our lives, through his movies. Best wishes.

[@ziyadkm6855]

Mentioning abt mother..👌.. really heart touching

[@Jumiiz]

Many mothers would've said the same to their kids. But it is the way this man narrated the incident that moved us! Something that is possible only by good storytellers!

[@nicsilvestroni9221]

Sir, When you explain that story about your Mum, I couldn’t stop to cry ... what to say? Simply Amazing !! I really hope that you had a long beautiful journey with your Mum before she went. Bless you, Sir. Your Mum loved you a lot and that’s the true blessing . Be strong & confident like this and may God bless you always. ❤️

[@jithinkannadan7092]

Wat a personality.... Now that's how an intelligent person talks....

[@praveennallat3079]

One of the best episode of the show. His thoughts, philosophy, value of motherhood. Dhanya you are lucky, you are the right person to talk with the legends. More to go..

[@kriz2k11]

Love the way Dhanya carries herself through the emotional whirlwind the guest throws at her.. Menon as always is a song to the ears.. 👍

[@Globetrotter.93]

The very first time I really loved this talk show with Balachandra Menon. The way he treated his mother, words are inadequate... Bottom of ma heart I really respect him from the moment I see this show. He had such a great personality moreover.

[@asifjamal6242]

nice interview ...his experiences towards his life is cumg as an visualization through his words...there is a feel in every word he speak...and also he answers all the questions in such a beautiful way..the moment when he talked about his mother death there is a tear in both there eyes.... loved it..respect sir.

[@anejanac1411]

Wow...this episode was an experience. Thank you so much for bringing him on the show.

[@comment123ify]

Simply beautiful...wish it were longer though! So much to learn from this gentleman! God Bless.

[@mithunc1202]

no words, wonderful personality, thankyou sir for your thoughts.

[@binithasajith7739]

The last line of Menon Sir blowed me away.... a very philosophical one but so very true. What more does one want than such an appreciation from ones own Mother. Dhanya I truly echo your emotions. Had me teary eyed. Great going Dhanya. Loved the respect you showered on Menon Sir. His works were so powerful and easily connected to the common man. I’m a huge fan of dear Balachandra Menon Sir. Thx much for this episode

[@muhsina1234]

[@SubinJames1]

Wonderful message and interview.

[@cybertaiga9534]

Beautiful session. I loved it. Just like the stories in his films, the way he narrates about his real life is spell-binding. He is absolutely right- the biggest compliment he got was from his Mother. Happy to see a blessed and fortunate artist like Balachandra Menon.

[@raneeshtktk433]

One of the best interview i have ever seen.. dhanya mam u did outstanding interview.. tx

[@shahnazmc58]

One of the best Talk Shows I have ever watched. You are too good Ms. Danya Varma.. way to go..

[@p.j.venugopalnair2388]

Dhanya s totally perfect. She is not trying to impress, or showing her intellectual powers. Not trying to seduce through movements or soundmodulations. Total concentration as an obedient student. This is what an anchor needs. Other anchors and anchor aspirants should learn from Dhanya.

[@attuskingdom3968]

That story was something which will make each and everyone who loves his/her mom emotional.😍

[@abey1257]

I have watched most of the episodes of happiness project, but whenever this one came up i used to skip and watch other episodes.. may be because i was not a fan of mr. Menon,..

Menon,. may u shine bright and illuminate the lives that u touch with ur positivity.. And thanks.dhanya once again for being such a patient listener and an awesome host..u r the best😍
