Marriage makes little difference in the heroes’ professional lives whereas the lives of heroines change for ever after marriage. The fans and the filmmakers tend to see them in a different light and hence their professional lives get jeopardized. The lack of cooperation or encouragement from the new family set up too works against their professional ambitions.

However, there are some exceptions to this rule and Malavika’s case is one such exception. She continues to enjoy her status among filmmakers and fans as well even after her marriage.

The sizzling star continues to sizzle in films like 'Singakutti', 'Aayudham Seyvom', 'Aruvadai Naal', and 'Chatru Mun Kitaitha Thagaval'. She acts as an actor in all these films save 'Aruvadai Naal'.

Her husband Sumesh, a perfect gentleman, has never embarrassed her by accompanying her during the shootings. Marriage puts a full stop for the career of many but it has proved to be a blessing in terms of profession to Malavika. t
