She further went on to say, "You were so innocent, so genuine... one of the purest souls I've ever known. Your love and excitement for Thrissur Pooram was unmatched, and it breaks my heart that you're gone like this. I don't know how I'll step onto a set again without you. You were such an important part of my life. You meant everything to us. Gone too soon. I will miss you every single day. Rest in peace, Biji."

The Thrissur blast is a national tragedy. 13 lives lost is unacceptable. While we mourn, we must ask serious questions about safety regulations at these firecracker units. Pooram is about joy, not death. Authorities need to ensure this never happens again.

Namitha's note shows genuine grief. In our film industry, the bond between actors and their makeup artists/hairstylists is very special. They are the first people you see in the morning and the ones who build your confidence. Feel so sad for her loss.

As an outsider looking in, the scale of this incident is horrifying. My heart goes out to all the families in Thrissur. It's touching to see celebrities like Namitha and Mammootty using their platform to highlight the human cost beyond just the numbers.

Respectfully, while the celebrity reactions are moving, let's not let the spotlight shift entirely. The real story is the systemic failure in regulating hazardous industries, especially before major festivals when demand peaks. Justice for the 13.

"You were never just my makeup artist, you were family." This line hit me hard. It shows how deep these professional relationships can go. May Bijeesh's soul rest in peace. Om Shanti 🙏. Prayers for the injured and the grieving families in Kerala.
