Shwetha Menon’s husband, Sreevalsan Menon, shared his thoughts after her victory in the AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) elections.

Case filed against Shwetha Menon

Sreevalsan admitted that the case filed against Shwetha during the election period was a very difficult time for their family. He said “Our family felt the case was filed with the intention of demoralising Shwetha. It caused us huge distress. We were worried about how our daughter would handle it… the allegations were extremely unpleasant. Fortunately, the law was on our side. We feared that Shwetha would be mentally affected, but she stood strong.

The industry, the media, and the general public all extended their support. This is also an opportunity to thank everyone.”Speaking about AMMA’s situation with Mathrubhumi News, Sreevalsan pointed out that the association’s public image has been poor for some time.He said “AMMA's public image is extremely poor. At such a time, the presence of a woman was very necessary. Senior actors themselves said that it’s time for a woman to take charge and bring about change. From an outsider’s perspective, I believe this change will help improve that tarnished image.”“We hope Shwetha will become a unifying factor. She possesses strong leadership qualities and is an excellent organiser. In every way, a very good president has been chosen,” he added.
