For Roshan Abdul Rahoof, the boy Priya Varrier famously made eyes at, life has changed overnight.
Priya's eyebrow expressions went viral, becoming news across the country. It all began with the song 'Manikya malaraya poovi' from the Malayalam teen film 'Oru Adaar Love'. Priya's expressions made her a celebrity overnight, and with her, he became moderately famous too.
Roshan is yet to return to college: he gets mobbed every time he steps out of the house. "This is a dream come true. I am enjoying all the attention," he told 'Metrolife' from Guruvayur.
He had tried raising and lowering his eyebrows using the Dubsmash app, but had never imagined one of those movements could change his life forever. "I used to try out funny facial expressions and eye movements and later make videos using them. When the director asked me to improvise on the spot, it wasn't tough," Roshan says.
Roshan is a self-taught dancer, and was one of the finalists of the 'D4 Dance (Season 3)' reality show, where he performed with his brother Raees. "Raees inspires me no end. He always encourages me to attempt different things. We aren't trained dancers but have picked up our steps from YouTube. It isn't an easy journey but with Raees on my side, everything seems so simple," says Roshan.
