Mammootty,
the
Big
M
of
Mollywood,
is
undoubtedly
one
of
the
most
celebrated
actors
of
Indian
cinema.
But
interestingly,
the
megastar
had
struggled
a
lot
to
make
his
wife
Sulfath
believe
that
he
is
an
actor.
The
couple
tied
the
knot
in
1979
when
Mammootty
was
a
struggling
actor
in
the
industry.
It
was
purely
an
arranged
marriage
and
Sulfath
was
not
aware
of
her
husband's
passion
for
acting.

&
Sulfath....
After
marriage,
when
Mammootty
revealed
that
he
is
an
actor,
Sulfath
refused
to
believe
him.
She
initially
thought
that
her
husband,
who
is
a
lawyer
by
profession,
was
just
playing
a
prank.
Sulfath
was
confused,
as
none
of
the
Mammootty
films
had
released
till
then.
Mammootty
immediately
called
KG
George,
the
director
of
his
fourth
movie
Mela
and
to
seek
permission
to
bring
his
wife
to
the
sets
one
day.
George
immediately
agreed
and
Mammootty
took
his
wife
to
the
shooting
sets
the
very
next
day
itself.
After
watching
the
shoot,
Sulfath
realised
the
actor's
love
for
cinema
and
decided
to
support
him.
Later,
Mammootty
decided
to
wrap
up
his
career
as
a
lawyer
for
films,
with
the
complete
support
of
Sulfath.
Well,
that
is
why
we
consider
them
as
the
most
star
ideal
couple
of
Malayalam
cinema.
