<p>The 'Master' actor wrote on the photo-sharing app, "Spent most of these few days jumping into the ocean every chance I got, snorkelling for hours and getting far too excited about spotting fish (sic)."</p>
<p>Malavika further revealed that she was initially extremely scared of reef sharks; however, now she is overcoming her fear. She added that her fascination with oceans is also increasing with time.</p>
<p>"I was genuinely scared of reef sharks at first(because sharks), and now I find myself looking for them every time I&rsquo;m in the water. Slowly getting over my fear of the ocean, bit by bit, and getting more and more fascinated by this whole world beneath the surface...Who knew I was a closeted island girl," she went on to add.</p>
<p>Malavika keeps the netizens hooked with her frequent updates on social media.</p>
<p>Work-wise, she recently wrapped up the shoot for her next, '<strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/regional-indian-cinema-news/article/pocket-novel-vijay-sethupathi-malavika-mohanans-film-completes-shoot-23654433" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Pocket Novel</a></strong>', featuring Vijay Sethupathi.</p>
<p>Recently, Malavika compiled an emotional gratitude post for the entire team of 'Pocket Novel'.</p>
<p>Thanking her co-star Vijay Sethupathi, she shared, "actorvijaysethupathi thank you for being the <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/regional-indian-cinema-news/article/malavika-mohanan-thanks-vijay-sethupathi-for-being-the-most-caring-and-giving-co-actor-23652934" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">most caring</a></strong> and giving co-actor. Having been through this journey with you, I cannot imagine having been a part of this process with anybody else. You have been so encouraging, sweet and yet have always created such a comfortable space for me to explore and get it right no matter how long it took or how hard it was."</p>
<p>"We&rsquo;ve been a part of two films together- &lsquo;Petta&rsquo; and &lsquo;Master&rsquo;, but never got to share screen space with each other so this one has been long due. And what a beautiful one it&rsquo;s been," Malavika added.</p>
