Veteran actress Srividya is battling cancer in Trivandrum. Kamal, who was in Kochi (for Dasavatharam shooting?), dropped by. The post on oosi aka pin (in Tamil) goes onto say that the meeting was an emotional one. When inquired about Srividya’s health, Kamal refused to divulge details saying it was indecent to do so.

This news shows the kind of relationship they share, one that began more than three decades ago. How can one forget the young man who falls for a middle-aged woman in Apoorva Raagangal? (Actually, Srividya is only a year older than Kamal.) They shared screen space in many movies including Punnagai Mannan and Apoorva Sagodharargal. Filmlore even says that Srividya proposed marriage to Kamal once, but he didn’t accept.
