Annis Abraham.. Auto driver. Film actress. Washes cars at a car servicing center. Also does housework. This eight-facedness is not new to her. It has been a habit since she could imagine. Even though difficulties have been following her footsteps, she has kept the thought of 'suicide' at bay for a lifetime. She wanted to live until death. She is still like that. Not depressed.. Finding joy in everything she does.. Now making her dreams come true!
Annis's hometown is Ernakulam in Kerala. Due to poverty, she started doing chores and studying from the age of twelve. At that age, she would take a bicycle and do papers in the morning. After coming back from school in the evening, she would go to work in houses. That's when the famous director in Malayalam, Thampi Kannanthanam, came to know about this girl. He wanted to give her a role in his film. He gave her a small role in the film 'Janamantharam'. At that time, she was eighteen years old. Later, after getting married, she fell into a life of samsara. New problems befell her in the house of Attarin. Before she could understand her husband's behavior, she had two children. Since her husband did not do any work, she had to carry the burden of samsara there.. She had to do three or four things a day.
She had to do hard work to fuel the dream car.
She found a job washing cars at that time. That's when she put her interest in driving into practice..
She learned to drive. Car.. Auto.. Shooting
When the little girl was three years old.. her husband left them. Her younger brother also came to her house, helpless. Along with the two children, Annisku had to raise her younger brother as a son. At that time, she bought an auto. After gaining some financial stability, she looked for film opportunities. She found one. According to the film schedule, she is planning the remaining work.
