'''Manju Pathrose''' is an Indian supporting actress who appears in [Malayalam television and films](/source/Malayalam_cinema).
== Career ==
Manju Pathrose's first foray into acting came in 2003 following a chance encounter. While the casting team for [A. K. Lohithadas](/source/A._K._Lohithadas) film ''[Chakram](/source/Chakram_(2003_film))'' caught sight of her photographs from a dance performance, the role ultimately didn't materialize. Undeterred, Manju made her official television debut in the second season of the [reality TV](/source/reality_TV) show ''Veruthe Alla Bharya''[https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/radio-and-tv/all-in-the-family/article2656081.ece] on [Mazhavil Manorama](/source/Mazhavil_Manorama). This platform proved instrumental in securing her first television acting role, a character in the popular comedic sitcom [Marimayam](/source/Marimayam) on the same channel. This marked her breakout performance and established her as a talented actress.[{{cite news |last=മഹി |first=ദേവു |title="എന്റെ വണ്ണം സമ്മാനിച്ചത് നിരവധി ഇരട്ടപ്പേരുകൾ": മനസ്സു തുറന്ന് മഞ്ജു സുനിച്ചൻ |url=https://www.manoramaonline.com/women/interviews/2019/07/22/interview-with-artist-manju-pathrose.html |accessdate=14 February 2020 |work=[Malayala Manorama](/source/Malayala_Manorama) |date=22 July 2019 |language=ml}}][[https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/radio-and-tv/common-mans-voice/article5635173.ece Marimayam - Common man's voice]]
Manju continued to flourish in the sitcom genre, appearing in shows like ''Mayamohini'' and ''Kunnamkulathangaadi''. Her portrayal of Thankam in ''[Aliyan vs Aliyan](/source/Aliyan_vs_Aliyan)'' garnered critical acclaim and earned her the prestigious Kerala State Television Awards (Special Jury Award).[[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/events/kochi/kerala-state-television-award-2017-distributed/articleshow/66461532.cms Times of India - Kerala State Television Awards]]
In 2020, Manju participated in the highly popular reality show ''[Bigg Boss (Malayalam season 2)](/source/Bigg_Boss_(Malayalam_season_2))'' on [Asianet](/source/Asianet_(TV_channel)). Hosted by actor [Mohanlal](/source/Mohanlal), however, she got evicted from the house on Day 48.[{{cite news |title=Bigg Boss Malayalam 2: Contestants list released |url=https://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/2020/01/06/bigg-boss-malayalam-2-contestants-list-arya-pashanam-shaji-others.html |accessdate=14 February 2020 |work=[Mazhavil Manorama](/source/Mazhavil_Manorama) |date=6 January 2020}}][{{cite news |author1=Web team |title=തകര്ക്കും ഞങ്ങ, ചിരിപ്പിക്കും ഞങ്ങ, മഞ്ജു പത്രോസ് ബിഗ് ബോസ്സില് |url=https://www.asianetnews.com/biggboss/bigg-boss-malayalam-season-two-contestant-manju-pathrose-q3n1q4 |accessdate=14 February 2020 |work=[Asianet News](/source/Asianet_News) |date=5 January 2020 |language=ml}}]
