Growing up in the picturesque town of Chempu, near Vaikom, the siblings were nurtured by their father, a prosperous entrepreneur who instilled in them values that would shape their destinies.
The year 2023 has been a year of profound sorrow for Mammootty and his family. On April 21, 2023, the family bid farewell to their beloved matriarch, Fatima Ismail, who peacefully passed away at the age of 93.
