She had moved to Aluva shortly before that, having previously lived in Chennai for two years. She spent 38 years in Chennai before moving here. She also served as a grandmother and mother and appeared in commercials. Ponnamma Kaviyoor had acted as a mother to several actors, such as Satyan. But when she played the role of a mother for actor Mohanlal, people recognized her again.
