Another Malayali nurse character who lives with the audience is, Pirel as Shoja Thomas in Anurag Basu Ludo. The Rahul Awasthi, played by Rohit Saraf, and Sheeja, is chased by Sattu Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi). Both are unable to communicate with each other because Shija does not know Hindi.

But she shows that Shoja is being unaffected under influence and dancing with a fellow Malayali. This is actually an ode for a known Malayali characteristic to find another Malayali from a crowd, and asking them “Natil Eveya(Where are you from in Kerala?) “.
