Nimisha was referring to Suresh Gopi’s well-known catchphrase, “Thrissur enikku venam, Thrissur enikku tharanam, Thrissur nhaan angu edukkuva” (I want Thrissur, you need to give me Thrissur, I am taking Thrissur).

Trolls and memes are not just confined towards the actress, but also on Suresh Gopi by the left-wing handlers. Most of these trolls are targeted towards Thrissur which is been referred to as a ‘saffron den’ now and hence requesting others not to visit the place.
Social media trolls are not just confined towards BJP or Suresh Gopi, but also towards CPI(M) and its candidates who have lost to the Congress.
