In
'Mitr',
Shobhana
played
a
bored
housewife,
who
sought
solace
in
her
unseen
confidant,
her
internet
pal.
That
person
turns
out
to
be
none
other
than
her
husband,
who
ignores
her
at
home.
Shobhana
went
on
to
win
her
second
National
Award
for
this
role
in
the
movie
directed
by
Revathy.
Now,
co-incidentally,
the
42-year-old
actor
is
going
to
marry
her
real-life
internet
pal,
Rahul
Mehra,
an
agriculturist
from
Jharkhand.
A
source
close
to
the
couple
confirms
this,
saying,
"They
started
chatting
with
each
other
online,
and
then
planned
to
meet
each
other.
Their
friendship
grew
into
love,
and
now
they
are
all
set
to
marry
each
other."
Shobhana
was
last
seen
in
'Apna
Aasmaan'.
Her
next
project
is
Hollywood
filmmaker,
Zakhary
Coffin's
'Bhopal
Gas
Tragedy',
in
which
her
co-star
is
Irrfan
Khan.
Her
first
National
Award
was
for
her
role
in
'Manichitharathazu',
which
has
now
been
remade
in
Hindi,
and
is
titled
'Bhool
Bhulaiyaa',
and
in
which
Vidya
Balan
plays
the
same
role.
