Quotes

Komalavalli

Komalavalli is the wife of Charuhasan and the stepmother of Kamal Haasan.

“Until he was four or five years old, he thought I was his mother. My mother-in-law also agreed to this, saying, 'Let him continue to think that way.' But when the housemaids told him the truth, he cried the whole day. He wept, asking, 'Aren’t you my mother? Is that my mother?' He was very attached to me. My mother-in-law’s health had deteriorated right after his birth. So, I was literally the one who raised him.”

“Kamal was born in 1954. In 1955, I lost a son who died shortly after childbirth. Then, my daughter was born in 1957. So, for about four years, it was just him. Later, he looked after my children as if they were his own younger siblings.”
