​Sumithra to Anjana: Take inspiration from these Malayalam TV characters this Women's Day

Malayalam TV has a long list of progressive characters who are capable of inspiring women around. On this Women's Day here is a list of characters you can look up to. From Kudumbavilakku's Sumithra to Manjil Virinja Poovu's Anjana, here are the women whom you can take inspiration from.

​Swantham Sujatha's Sujatha

Sujatha proved that a broken family can never pull you back from achieving your dreams. The homemaker-turned-RJ inspires women out there to pursue their passion and never let anything stop them. Actress Chandra Lakshman plays Sujatha in the show.

​Manjil Virinja Poovu's Anjana

The daily-wage worker from a tea plantation is now a sub-collector. Not many Malayalam TV characters have portrayed the importance of education in any better way. Currently, the show progresses with Anjana never letting go of her work ethic despite being visually challenged. Undoubtedly, Malavika Wales does justice to this inspiring character.

5/7

​Sasneham's Indira

This character of a Rekha Ratheesh proves that age is just a number. In the show, the 60 plus character is currently running a restaurant to serve food for the needy. Her willpower in dealing with the hurtful deeds of both son and daughter-in-law is also worth taking inspiration.

6/7

​Rakkuyil's Manasi

Despite being in an abusive married life, Manasi proved that there is still a ray of sunshine left in her life. Manasi falls in love for a second time and leads a happy life in the story. However, she took the punishment for Karali Chandran's murder, committed by Thulasi (her sister) makes the character even more inspiring.
