Malayalam actor Mammootty faced online criticism for visiting BJP leader B Gopalakrishnan’s home after his daughter’s wedding, sparking debate over his political associations. 

Critics, mainly Left supporters, questioned his ties with BJP while recalling a past incident where he distanced himself from a CPIM leader. 

The BJP leader defended their personal friendship beyond politics. CPIM leaders condemned the cyberbullying, emphasizing the attacks did not represent the party. 

Mammootty, a respected actor linked with the Left, remains a unifying figure amid political tensions.
