Ullas Pandalam, the talented comedian who left Malayali audiences in side-splitting laughs through his performances, is now recovering from a health ailment. The video of the actor arriving in Thiruvalla to attend the inauguration ceremony of a private institution is now going viral.

The actor reached the venue with the help of a crutch and another person to assist. It also seemed that the actor is suffering from facial palsy. Ullas suffered a stroke recently, which changed the symmetry of his face and made the actor rely on crutches to walk. It is now normal for the actor to fall into fatigue, and his talks are incomprehensible.

'Apart from a few artists, no one knows that I had a stroke. When this video comes out, many will be surprised,” said Ullas.

Television presenter Lakshmi Nakshatra is also seen in the video. Lakshmi Nakshatra brought Ullas to the stage. While leaving Ullas was teary-eyed, and Lakshmi can be seen tenderly asking the actor not to cry. The video ends with Lakshmi fighting hard to stop her tears.

Comments are pouring for the video, as many expressed confidence that Ullas will soon return to his best.
