“I Still Wonder Why He Believed in Me So Much,” Says Mamitha Baiju

Malayalam actress Mamitha Baiju has been enjoying a busy phase in her career, with several film opportunities coming her way. During a recent event, the actress spoke about her association with director Girish AD and how his confidence in her helped shape her journey. Recalling the early days of their collaboration, Mamitha said Girish narrated the story of Bethlehem Kudumba Unit to her shortly after the shooting of Super Sharanya was completed. The director reportedly felt that she would be the right choice for the role. Mamitha admitted that she still wonders why Girish placed so much faith in her at that stage of her career. His confidence came at a time when she herself was not entirely certain about her ability to take on leading roles.

The actress expressed gratitude to Girish for recognising her potential and offering her opportunities in films such as Premalu and Bethlehem Kudumba Unit. She acknowledged that the director believed in her abilities even when she was still developing confidence in herself as a leading actress. His encouragement and willingness to entrust her with significant roles have been meaningful milestones in her career. Mamitha’s remarks highlight the importance of a filmmaker’s faith in an actor’s potential, particularly during the early stages of their journey. Her comments have also drawn attention to her professional association with Girish and the opportunities that helped her establish herself in Malayalam cinema.
