Gokul Suresh

Gokul was born as the second child to actor Suresh Gopi and Radhika Nair on 29 September 1993 in Kollam, Kerala. He has two younger sisters Bhagya Suresh, Bhaavni Suresh and a younger brother Madhav Suresh. His elder sister Lakshmi died in a car accident when she was one and a half years old. Gokul completed his primary level education from St. Thomas Residential School, Thiruvananthapuram and his secondary level education from Pallikoodam, Kottayam and Saraswathy Vidyalaya, Thiruvananthapuram. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Christ University in Bangalore, and did his internship as a front officer and staff at Le Méridien, Kochi. It was during this time he felt a passion for acting and lost interest in corporate jobs. In Gokul's debut film Mudhugauv, Aju Varghese was initially cast to play the lead role. But the makers wanted a younger actor to make the character look more convincing. While in search of a younger actor they ended up in Gokul who happened to be producer Sandra Thomas' Facebook friend and then approached him with the script. Gokul found the script for Mudhugauv interesting and later replaced Aju.
