Malavika is the famed filmmaker K.U. Mohanan's daughter. She was raised in Mumbai after having been born in Kerala's Payyanur, Kannur District.

The ideal source of inspiration for youngsters is Malavika Mohanan's sense of style. Her fashion sense is as vibrant as it is adaptable, covering a variety of shapes from daring pantsuits to sparkling short dresses.

Mohanan has established herself in the recent years in the South Indian cinema business.

She seems to be as passionate about fashion as she is about movies, and when it comes to experimenting with different looks, she has no boundaries.

Mohanan aspired to work as a cinematographer or director of photography. She created her own clothing for the movie "Pattam Pole" after the costume designer became unwell a week into the filming.

Malavika has strutted the catwalk for a number of major houses. Later, she created the fusion clothing line "The Scarlet Window."
