Manju Pathrose is an Indian supporting actress who appears in Malayalam television and films.

Career

Manju Pathrose's first foray into acting came in 2003 following a chance encounter. While the casting team for A. K. Lohithadas film Chakram 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 show Veruthe Alla Bharya on Mazhavil Manorama. This platform proved instrumental in securing her first television acting role, a character in the popular comedic sitcom Marimayam on the same channel. This marked her breakout performance and established her as a talented actress.

Manju continued to flourish in the sitcom genre, appearing in shows like Mayamohini and Kunnamkulathangaadi. Her portrayal of Thankam in Aliyan vs Aliyan garnered critical acclaim and earned her the prestigious Kerala State Television Awards (Special Jury Award).

In 2020, Manju participated in the highly popular reality show Bigg Boss (Malayalam season 2) on Asianet. Hosted by actor Mohanlal, however, she got evicted from the house on Day 48.
