She praised him as a first-generation actor who built his career entirely through personal effort without any cinematic family background—a feat she acknowledged as far from easy.

Tehlan highlighted the effortless nature of their friendship, noting that they can laugh at the smallest things, tease each other endlessly, and engage in hours of conversation without any boredom or discomfort. She playfully mentioned that Mukundan is the only friend who willingly joins her for her beloved "tea dates." Reflecting on seven years of shared jokes, pranks, arguments, and countless memories, she expressed pride in Mukundan's establishment of Unni Mukundan Films and extended her full support for his future endeavors, acknowledging the challenges ahead while promising to always stand by his side.
