Another Version of this Bio...

Gopakumar Vivek Gopan was born on the 3rd of April, 1983. in Thiruvananthapuram. We know him as Suraj from the TV serial, ‘Parasparam’, and it is without a doubt that everyone would be surprised to know that he is also a trained classical dancer, as well as a singer. He has undertaken performances on stage for both the arts, but after his schooling, he found his calling in cricket. Little did he know then that it would lead to an entirely new platform as such.

He has played for the under 19 state team and this, in turn, gave him the opportunity to be a part of director Priyadarshan’s cricket team, post his seven-year work experience in the pharmaceutical industry. While playing for the director’s team, he heard of his upcoming cinematic venture in Malayalam, ‘Arabiyum Ottakavum P.Madhavan Nayarum’, and upon selection post some photo auditioning, he made his debut with the movie in 2011. It had Mohanlal and Mukesh in the lead roles.

‘Ee Adutha Kaalath’, a critically acclaimed as well as commercially successful film, saw him part of it next. This success was followed by movies like ‘Nakhangal’, ‘My Fan Ramu’ and ‘Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty’. In Hindi, he made an appearance in Priyadarshan’s ‘Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal’. In the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL), he played for Amma Strikers Kerala. Among the younger section of the population, this led to a wider acclaim and acceptance, as well as following for the actor.

But his fame stands on solid ground when it comes to his lead role in the television series titled ‘Parasparam’, on the Asianet channel. He plays the role of a baker, who marries an IAS aspirant, Deepthi. The serial traces the difficulties Deepthi has to overcome in a patriarchal setup to follow her dreams. Her only support source is her illiterate yet informed husband, Suraj. Suraj too is encouraged by Deepthi in his cooking endeavours on National competitions and other platforms. ‘Parasparam’ is supposedly a retelling of the Hindi television serial, ‘Diya Aur Bati Hum’.

It is not much of a surprise that while film actors are extremely popular, these actors from television series strike a chord with people of all ages, in the sense that they identify their everyday struggles, happiness, and aspirations with these ordinary yet inspiring characters. In this context, Vivek’s significance cannot be stressed enough.
