Actor Binu Pappu, son of Kothivattam Pappu, said that he still could not come to terms with his father’s death. He said that because his father was not at home often, he got used to that absence and felt that if his father is not present today, he will come tomorrow. Binu Pappu said these things in an interview given to Dhanya Verma.
“I was eighteen when my father died. Actually, on the day of my father’s death, I went to a fest at Providence College, Kozhikode. I was the one who slept in the hospital the night before. Next morning my brother came and asked me to go to college. When I looked, I saw my father reading a paper on the bed. After the fest I went to the hospital as soon as I came to the beach.
When I reached the hospital it was full of people. Everyone is saying that this is Pappuwetan’s mon, the third one. When I reached the balcony of the hospital, my sister hugged me and told me that my father is gone. I asked him where he went. Because I couldn’t take it. Usually that word is always said, father is gone. But listen to it without singing,” says Binu Pappu.
Binu Pappu says that he has not been able to go anywhere with his father where he can be presented.
“Mom for the PTA meeting. Brother and sister are coming. Father will not come. At that time it was a terrible desire for me. Not only me, my brother and sister also had this problem. Wherever we can present father, we cannot present father. But we have access and space everywhere in the name of Kothivattam Pappu. But holding that hand did not go anywhere. I wish my father was there whenever everyone gave good comments during the release of our film.
If you say father is coming, it is a celebration. Father comes, followed by many friends. Then there was a lot of noise and a lot of fun. And then suddenly one day I don’t see my father. Father must have gone for a shoot. Then wait for the next arrival.
When Onam Vishu comes around, we get a cover. Not father. The dress will be bought and sent. Even though my father died, I have not been able to accept it one hundred percent. Because it feels like if not today, tomorrow will come. Get used to that absence. Some people talk about their father and say sorry, but I say it’s okay. I did not cry when my father died. Because I can’t figure out what it is.
