'''Manju Pathrose''' is an Indian supporting actress who appears in [[Malayalam cinema|Malayalam television and films]].

== Career ==
Manju Pathrose's first foray into acting came in 2003 following a chance encounter. While the casting team for [[A. K. Lohithadas]] film ''[[Chakram (2003 film)|Chakram]]'' caught sight of her photographs from a dance performance, the role ultimately didn't materialize. Undeterred, Manju made her official television debut in the second season of the [[reality TV]] show ''Veruthe Alla Bharya''[https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/radio-and-tv/all-in-the-family/article2656081.ece] on [[Mazhavil Manorama]]. This platform proved instrumental in securing her first television acting role, a character in the popular comedic sitcom [[Marimayam]] on the same channel. This marked her breakout performance and established her as a talented actress.<ref>{{cite news |last=മഹി |first=ദേവു |title="എന്റെ വണ്ണം സമ്മാനിച്ചത് നിരവധി ഇരട്ടപ്പേരുകൾ": മനസ്സു തുറന്ന് മഞ്ജു സുനിച്ചൻ |url=https://www.manoramaonline.com/women/interviews/2019/07/22/interview-with-artist-manju-pathrose.html |accessdate=14 February 2020 |work=[[Malayala Manorama]] |date=22 July 2019 |language=ml}}</ref><ref>[https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/radio-and-tv/common-mans-voice/article5635173.ece Marimayam - Common man's voice]</ref>
