"This is our fate. How long will we stay sad about it?" L2: Empuraan cinematographer Sujith Vasudev opens up about divorce

Sujith Vasudev is the cinematographer of many hit films including Memories and Lucifer. He is also the ex-husband of actress Manju Pillai. In an interview given to a media outlet, Sujith Vasudev has spoken openly about their divorce. His response was to the presenter's question whether a situation like 'James & Alice' movie directed by Sujith happened in real life.

'Manju and I have been separated for two to three years. Last year, we got divorced. If it had happened like in James and Alice, we would have reconciled and lived together. Life and cinema are different. See cinema as cinema and life as life. Always carry happiness. Whatever makes both of you happy, move towards it. We cannot stop many things. This is our fate. How long will we stay sad about it? We cannot say that happiness is when someone leaves or is not with us. We should think about how to get out of that difficult time.

Recently my brother passed away. You can't carry that sadness with you all the time. You have to think about how to escape from it,' he said. Manju Pillai and Sujith got married in 2000. They divorced last year. They have a daughter.
