'Package from Mohanlal's father, most precious gift ever received'; MoS Suresh Gopi's viral statement

Union Minister of State Suresh Gopi, in a recent podcast, opened up about a gift he received on his wedding day from actor Mohanlal’s parents. This video is now doing the rounds on social media.

In Pearle Maaney’s podcast, the union minister was asked about his favourite gift ever received in life. And Suresh Gopi had no doubts about the answer.

Suresh Gopi:

“The day before my wedding, Mohanlal's father and mother came to my house with a package. When opened, I saw a Ganapati idol made of teak wood. When I moved to Thiruvananthapuram, I placed it as the main idol in the puja room. However, one astrologer suggested not to light a lamp in front of the idol as it was deemed a bad omen.

So I moved it from the puja room. I still have that idol in my dining hall. Whenever I pass through the room and glimpse the idol, the picture of Mohanlal’s father handing me the package comes to my mind. Indeed, my most precious gift”
