Dulquer Salmaan pens an adorable note on Vismaya Mohanlal becoming a poet!

Mohanlal’s daughter Vismaya recently turned an author with her maiden poetry book, ‘Grains of Stardust’. The book published by Penguin Random House India is a collection of poems and paintings. It hit the stands on Valentine’s Day (February 14).

Dulquer Salmaan, who has been close to Vismaya from childhood, has penned an adorable note in his social media handle recollecting old memories of her and wishing her luck for the book. He has written,

My oldest fondest memory of Maya (Vismaya Mohanlal) is of her first birthday at the Taj Coramandel in Chennai. It was a huge party that her parents threw for her and she wore the most adorable gold outfit and was the cutest one year old we had seen. As the night wore on the birthday girl was missing. Her mum then informed us that she fell asleep. I’ll always remember that as the biggest party where the birthday girl fell asleep early.

Now all grown up she’s carving her own path. At such a young age she’s a published writer and her poems, thoughts, doodles and art are way ahead of her years. They give you a wonderful insight into her mind, her growing up and her life experiences. I’ve attached one of my favourites from the book.

Wishing you all the very best Maya ! Your folks and all those who know you must be so so proud.

Lots of love
Chalu Cheta

P.S. At the success party of your maiden book please don’t fall asleep early.

“It’s a proud moment for me as a father to announce the release of my daughter’s book ‘GRAINS OF STARDUST’ on the 14th of February. A book of poetry and art published by Penguin India Wishing her all the best in this endeavour.”
