‘Rajuvetta...’: Mayor Arya and Prithviraj’s camaraderie continues | Watch viral video

Thiruvananthapuram: A heartwarming video from the Kerala State Film Awards ceremony is winning hearts online, after Thiruvananthapuram Mayor Arya Rajendran shared it on social media with the caption ‘Rajuvettan’ (a fond way of referring to actor Prithviraj Sukumaran).

The clip captures a candid moment between Arya and Prithviraj on stage, where the actor is seen breaking into a heartfelt smile after hearing a light-hearted remark from the Mayor. The interaction took place as Prithviraj arrived on stage to receive the Best Actor award.

Social media users have flooded the comments section with praise for the visible camaraderie and affection between the two. Many noted that the video reflects a long-standing friendship, with one user commenting, “You can truly see the bond and mutual respect in this clip.”

The connection between Arya and Prithviraj isn’t new. During a previous event in Thiruvananthapuram, where the actor was invited as a guest, he had quipped during his speech: “This is the first time a Mayor has personally said ‘Rajuvetta, you must come’.” That seemingly casual remark marked the beginning of a warm friendship that has clearly endured.

This recent interaction has reaffirmed that bond, with many online users pointing to the video as a testament to their mutual admiration and lasting friendship.

The Kerala State Film Awards ceremony continues to be not only a celebration of cinema, but also a platform for genuine, unscripted moments like this—reminding audiences of the human side of stardom.
