Mohanlal addresses relationship rumours 

Kalyani is the daughter of filmmaker Priyadarshan and actor Pranav is Mohanlal's son. However, Kalyani’s friendship with Pranav has always been a hot topic for fans and they often speculate that the two are in a romantic relationship. All of this started a few years ago when a few of their selfies together went viral on social media.

While the two actors have always denied any romantic relationship between them, an entertainment portal reported that Mohanlal was recently asked about Pranav’s relationship with Kalyani who clarified things in the best way possible.

Reportedly, Mohanlal replied that the two young actors are close friends. He further said that the friendship between Pranav and Kalyani is just like his friendship with Priyadarshan. Mohanlal further asked the portal that how can a selfie of two friends together mean that they are dating or are in a relationship.

Mohanlal further urged fans to stop creating unnecessary controversies out of nothing. Reportedly, Pranav and Kalyani have grown up together in Chennai and their fathers are best friends. Moreover, the mothers of the two also share a close bond.
