Chennai, April 22 : South sensation Malavika Mohanan, who has steadily carved a niche for herself across film industries, has now disclosed when and why she last shed tears.

The actress, who took to Instagram to have an Ask Me Anything session with her fans and followers, was asked when was the last time she had cried.

Respoding to the question, Malavika Mohanan said, "I think it was... I was in Chennai last month for work. I was there for a prolonged period. While my team is lovely, I think staying away from home, from family, from loved ones for a very long period of time can start getting very lonely."

She went on to explain,"Just coming back to your hotel room, not having anyone to talk to at the end of the day.... I think it started getting to me at one point. So, it wasn't like dramatic crying but I feel like I went into a very low space."
