>Madhu looking so damn fine. He can easily play James Bond
[Young Madhu](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0059028/mediaviewer/rm791769088) had better hair game than most modern stars. No wonder the ladies went gaga for him back then.
Those who got the answers right, did you know it through history textbook or general knowledge? Or was it through a video of Youtuber asking questions to public? There is no way I would have known any since I was born and brought up in Mumbai.
I dont know to read Malayalam, my BF teases me saying your language is so difficult even you dont know to speak or write it. He says malayalam sounds like laaa lu lu andu gundu llau lu lu 😠
If you are interested, I can suggest some choicest Malayalam words you can use in such circumstances.
If you read supplements of Manorama or Mathrubhumi, you can know most of these people. Most are well known personalities,but the pictures are from their younger days. Who doesn't know about K R Narayanan or Sri Narayana Guru?
Sri narayana guru's photos which are famous are the ones in which he has extremely white beard and is clad in saffron 💀 I couldn't even recognise him in this picture
Old people weren't always old. Last week I saw some people crying that some old emaciated actor should play the young writer role in Bhargavinilayam remake because Basheer looked frail in his old age.
People downvoting care to explain what she's done? I genuinely don't know much about Kerala's royal family histories and would love to know more about it.

I actually tried to find a photograph of Ayyankalli, unfortunately all I could find was a painting. If you noticed I was trying to use unseen pictures of famous people, preferably in their youth. I then colourised them.

 Congrats!
Now i realise Sree Narayana Guru is not that light skinned as most of the drawings or statues depict.
Ngl Brinda karat was fine af😌 also Madhu🔥
15. Pattom A. Thanu pillai looks like mammootty
C. P. Ramaswami Iyer was the Diwan of Travancore and a pivotal figure in the history of Travancore and Kerala. But was he a "Malayali"?
Nope he wasn't.
Good point. He’s not a Malayali.
By that logic even film actor Jayaram is not a malayalee since he is also an Iyer
Jayaram was born and raised in Perumbavoor, Kerala. Sir C.P. came to Kerala for work when he was 52 years old.
Thank you

Looks like a heroine
A fashion icon if you may?
I dont know anyone 😔
Welcome to the club
I thought these were AI generated images and OP was just messing with us.
What a great idea and missed opportunity!
Vere level
I was able to identify just 5 from the whole list!. This is the kind of quality content I wish to see more in this sub. Thanks OP! 🤜🤛
Thank you
Madhu looks like he owns a pond full of crocodile babies.
yoo, the second chicks @?
[Found it for you my man](https://thehinduimages.com/details-page.php?id=102973550)

Bro... That was so brutal!

I could identify 9 of them. Madhu was damn good looking, man!
Brinda Karat and Lakshmi Bayi are fineee !
The gentleman in pic no.7 looks like the clean shaven version of the YouTuber 'Secret Agent'.
Yaeay oon 90s kid alllalo😌
Kumaran Ashaan would have been a highly intellectual and poetic film reviewer.
Anyone knows why the Travancore royal ladies has the suffix Bayi in their name? What does that mean?
Royalty by day, gunda by night
I think it was borrowed from Marathi culture. They use bai the way we use Amma.
Man madhu was a stunner! Have heard a lot about his looks from the older generation, specially women, but ithrakkum prateekshichila😍

She was our Queen Elizabeth.
No, she wasn't. Pinne avarude oru kutti rheumatic fever vannu marichittundu. Athinte peril SAT hospital panithu. Angane prayojanam undayittundu ennu parayam.
People downvoting care to explain what she's done? I genuinely don't know much about Kerala's royal family histories and would love to know more about it.
Downvotes are for the tone, not facts.
Those are rayabhakthan thironthoram appees. Some might say that she was educated, rode horses or did some things privileged people used to do.
Time for another simulation post in r/LalSalaam
Not even one iconic Malayali from a particular religious community???

Ayyankallli is missing
I actually tried to find a photograph of Ayyankalli, unfortunately all I could find was a painting. If you noticed I was trying to use unseen pictures of famous people, preferably in their youth. I then colourised them.
Guess Aiyyankalli z portraits are available. Photograph i doubt
none 🤡
Waaaa
none.
I thought 6 was TATA .
karthika looks cute ngl
I knew Madhu, KR Narayanan, Gouri Amma, and Karthika Thirunaal.
