New Delhi: Priya Prakash Varrier is the latest internet sensation after a short clip from the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi from Omar Lulu’s upcoming Malayalam movie Oru Adaar Love went viral on social media.  The song sung by Vineeth Sreenivasan and composed by Shaan Rahman became popular but it was Priya who stole the show.

Speaking exclusively to WION, the 18-year-old actress termed her overnight fame as 'surreal', saying she did not expect the magnitude of fame she received instantly. "Didn't expect it to go viral and reach the international audience," she said.

"The fame is too much for me to handle. All this is surreal, I am still trying to cope with it," said Priya.

She also had a word for her fans. "I am very happy and want to thank everyone for their support. I hope it continues when the movie releases" she said.

Talking about her journey in the tinsel town, she said that she would sign a new film only after her first movie hits cinema halls.

Priya already broke records on Instagram when she gained about 606K followers within a day and the young star has broken the YouTube record as well!

The song, Manikya Malaraya Poovi has crossed 10 million views which no other song in Mollywood has managed to achieve. 

In the video, we can see Priya making adorable expressions and winking to grab her crush’s attention.

The song will take one and all down the memory lane as it focuses on love in high school. It’s all about first crush, first love and innocence.
