Gouthami
is
one
among
the
most
appreciated
actresses
in
Mollywood.
The
actress
has
done
quite
a
lot
of
movies
in
Mollywood.
Though
she
is
not
in
the
industry
now,
people
still
remember
her
for
the
roles
she
has
portrayed.
She
is
one
of
the
jury
members
for
the
18th
International
Film
Festival
of
Kerala,
which
is
currently
being
held
at
Thiruvananthapuram.
The
yesteryear
actress
says
that
she
is
very
happy
for
the
same.
"I
was
overwhelmed
by
the
love
and
affection
that
I
received
here
even
after
so
many
years.
Malayalam
films
that
I
did
almost
served
as
a
refuge
to
me.
When
I
was
doing
too
much
of
the
regular
run-of-the-mill
works,
it
gave
me
a
space
to
breath,
it
helped
me
find
another
part
of
myself.
The
general
aesthetic
of
telling
a
story
here
is
so
different",
says
the
actress.
Gouthami
has
been
as
an
actress,
a
TV
host
and
also
as
a
costume
designer.
When
asked
what
she
prefers
the
most
among
the
three,
the
actress
said,
"I
prefer
cinema
on
any
given
day.
In
front
of
the
camera,
behind
the
camera,
even
if
it
is
to
fetch
stuff
I
wouldn't
mind.
I
just
want
to
be
associated
with
cinema.
That
is
when
I
seem
to
come
alive.''

The
actress,
who
battled
with
the
disease
cancer,
said
that
cinema
was
the
one
thing
that
helped
her
through
her
rough
times.
She
said
that
she
used
lie
on
her
favourite
couch
and
watch
films
post
chemotherapy.
When
asked
about
Kamal
Hassan,
she
said,
"Kamal
sir
is
as
integral
to
me
as
any
part
of
my
body.
He
is
my
backbone.'' Adding
on,
Gouthami
also
said
that
as
an
actress
the
best
of
Gouthami
is
yet
to
come.
