Attracted in Malayalam
Being drawn to something or someone is expressed with ആകൃഷ്ട (aakrishta) in Malayalam. The long aa at the start is held slightly, and the word belongs more to writing, news and careful speech than to joking with friends. It normally leans on a following noun rather than standing alone at the end of a sentence.
Attracted.
പൂവിന്റെ മണത്താൽ ആകൃഷ്ടനായി അവൻ നിന്നു.
poovinte manatthaal aakrishtanaayi avan ninnu.
Attracted by the scent of the flower he stood there.
All Malayalam words for “attracted”

Of the two entries listed, aakrishta is the general sense of being attracted or drawn, while svavargaanuraagi is a narrow noun for a gay person and never translates attracted by itself.
