“I can say without a doubt that ours is a successful married life. My success in life began from that day,” Kaithapram wrote.
A Pillar of Strength
The lyricist also touched upon his health struggles, acknowledging his wife’s unwavering support. He revealed that for the past 15 years, it has been Devi’s efforts that have helped him manage his health condition and provided him with the energy to move forward.
He further praised her management of their household, from the education and careers of their children to maintaining the spiritual atmosphere of their home, symbolized by the eternal lamp of Goddess Mookambika.
Bond with the Industry
Kaithapram also highlighted the warm relationship his wife shares with his colleagues in the film industry. He mentioned that close friends like Sreenivasan, Sathyan Anthikad, Murali, Lohithadas, Sibi Malayil, Jayaraj, and Kamal consider Devi as their own sister.
Recalling fond memories, he added, “Dasettan (K.J. Yesudas) has visited our home many times and has happily accepted Devi’s hospitality.”
He concluded the note by dedicating the achievements of this anniversary entirely to his “beloved Devi,” adding that many of his songs became famous through her name.
