Actor Dayana Hameed has tied the knot with television actor and presenter Ameen Madathil in a private ceremony held in Kochi. The wedding, arranged by their families, was an intimate event attended by close relatives and friends.
Ameen, originally from Edappal in Malappuram, and Dayana, known for her work in films and television, exchanged vows in a simple yet elegant gathering. The couple’s union was celebrated with warmth and blessings from loved ones.
Popular TV celebrity and Dayana’s friend Anumol penned a heartwarming wish by sharing pictures from the wedding. Anumol penned an Instagram note that read, “Happy married life my chakkre @dayyana_hameed and sweet heart amul baby @ameen_madathil. A new journey starts here . Best wishes from us to you Here’s to many happy years together.”
On the work front, Dayana Hameed’s previous outing was in the Indrans starrer ‘Orumbettavan’ where she played the role of a character named Dhanya Remeshan. Dayana also played an important role in the Anaswara Rajan starrer ‘Mike’. ETimes exclusive review for the movie reads, “Filmmaker Vishnu Shivaprasad touches upon a socially relevant gender issue which needs to have a lot more awareness in the society. He has managed to provoke a thought on non binary genders. It is a well-made movie with Renadive’s cinematography, editor Vivek Harshan’s crisp cuts and Rajesh Rajan’s sound design. Anaswara Rajan who plays Sarah and Mike has managed to take the movie forward singlehandedly. Newbie Ranjith Sajeev has all the inhibitions of facing the camera for the first time. Action sequences are good. Unfortunately, the film falters in its script which lacks proper research on the serious subject of sex reassignment surgery, and the sociological, psychological and physiological aspects of a person who wants a transition from the gender assigned at birth. Apart from that, the movie also reminds one of the films that celebrate toxic masculinity where at the end every ‘tomboyish’ girl, who seeks liberation becomes a submissive woman when they find someone to protect them from the evils they were fighting till date.”
