emirates7 - Who needs candles when thousands of mobile flashlights lit up the night in celebration of Mohanlal?
The iconic Malayalam actor, known for his enduring charm, kicked off his 65th birthday festivities early in Sharjah — and the vibe was nothing short of enchanting. Though his actual birthday is on May 21, the celebration had already begun in spectacular style.
The seventh edition of ‘Come On Kerala’, an event showcasing Indian trade, culture, and entertainment at Expo Centre Sharjah, instantly turned into a star-studded affair the moment Mohanlal — affectionately known as *Lalettan* by his legion of fans — stepped on stage.
Radiating charisma, he delighted the crowd by singing a beloved song from his classic comedy *Kilukkam*, turning the entire venue into a massive singalong filled with nostalgia and affection.
“This is more than just a celebration,” he began in English, his deep voice full of emotion. “It’s a symbol of unity, pride, and the journey of Kerala’s people across the globe.” And yes — every word hit home.
He also praised Sharjah’s cultural richness and visionary leadership, adding, “Kerala has always been a land of storytellers — scholars, farmers, entrepreneurs. Tonight isn’t just about honoring the past; it’s about embracing the future.”
Switching to Malayalam, Mohanlal turned the emotional dial all the way up. “I’m deeply honoured. Truly overwhelmed. This ocean of love…” he said, eyes shining.
And just when the crowd thought the moment had peaked, he delivered a memorable parting line: “Let this love *Thudarum*,” which means “To be continued” — a playful nod to his latest hit film, but also a heartfelt promise.
Because with Mohanlal, the magic never ends — it simply goes on. Would you like this in a shorter or more poetic style?
