Escaped accidents, used flight staff's seat: Actor Parthipan's dangerous journey to see Sreenivasan for last time

Sreenivasan has become another memory. He will live here forever through the characters he played and his writing. Most of the stars and technicians from the Malayalam industry had come to see Sreenivasan one last time. Not only from Malayalam, but also from Tamil, actor Suriya and actor and director Parthipan came to see their beloved Sreenivasan. Video of Parthipan, who arrived with a bundle of jasmine flowers in his hand, is viral on social media.

Actor Parthipan's words about his adventurous journey from Chennai to Kochi to see his beloved Sreenivasan one last time are currently gaining attention. Parthipan reached Kochi after putting aside all the hustle and bustle and overcoming the experiences of even facing death.

Actor Parthipan's tweet on X

If you listen to how I reached kochi, it was intense beyond words. There were no flights available from Chennai to Kochi. At 7:55 PM, I took out my Benz and drove myself. I reached the airport at 8:40 PM. On the way, I narrowly escaped accidents at four different points. I was driving alone. The flight was scheduled for 8:50 PM. Even after entering the airport, there were no seats available. Half seriously and half jokingly, I told the senior manager at Indigo that even a pilot’s seat would be perfectly fine if that was the only way to get me on the flight. Finally, at 9:25 PM, one of the staff stepped down, and that seat was given to me. I remain grateful to the senior manager for making this arrangement possible. I reached Kochi by 11:00 PM. I had no idea where I would stay. I eventually found a modest three-star hotel near Srinivasan sir’s home. I was actually supposed to be in Dubai today. I cancelled my flight. I cancelled my hotel. And yet, the strangest thing is this—within my own mind, I could have offered my condolences from anywhere. Still, something pulled me here. I kept asking myself: why did I run all the way from there to here? Something inside me was hitting very hard. On one side, legends like Mohanlal, Mammootty, and Dileep were present. I have seen wealth in my life. But what stood before me was not money—rather, a pure soul and a great creator, someone deserving of immense respect. I carried jasmine flowers with me to pay my respects to a dear friend of mine. I knew I might not be recognised, and that was never the point. What mattered to me was that this act would be registered with the universe. When something is done with complete sincerity, it reaches where it is meant to reach—to that friendship—even if it is only the universe that bears witness. I genuinely thought nobody had recognised my presence, and I was completely at peace with that. However, Director Rajesh, with whom I had worked in the film Escape From Uganda, noticed that I was there and later sent me a few messages. That moment quietly stayed with me.
