The Story in Brief
Actor Lijomol Jose says she wants to explore lighter, more carefree characters after playing several emotionally intense roles in Malayalam and Tamil films. Introduced in Maheshinte Prathikaaram, she gained wider attention as Senggeni in Jai Bhim. Her latest film, Unmadham, features her as Soumya, a working wife managing household responsibilities while her husband Shelly pursues screenwriting and works as a police officer.
Jose said she developed Soumya with writer Shahi Kabir and director Kiran Das. Some situations drew on Kabir’s married life, but the character is not a direct portrayal of his wife. She said Soumya’s anger reflects financial and family pressures, while she continues supporting Shelly’s ambitions.
The Indian Opinion
The interview presents Soumya as a fictional character shaped by work, family and financial pressures. It also separates real-life inspiration from direct representation, which is important when discussing relationships. Jose’s wish for lighter roles is clear, but conclusions about typecasting or her future choices would be premature. The film’s portrayal should not be treated as a judgement on real marriages.
