- How is your support with your parents? You seem to have an admirable level of report with your dad?
Being a single child I am the constant focus of my parents’ attention but I don’t think anyone can label me as a spoilt brat. They are my best friends with whom I share my dreams and fears. I always enjoy our dinner table discussions. My parents have been supportive of my decisions and given me total freedom to do what I want.
- You dance pretty well. Did you through the grind of learning dance?
I learnt Bharatanatyam and even some folk forms. I was a lot into culturals right from my days at the Naval Public School in Cochin. That is probably so true, because dancing is almost all that goes on during inter school and inter college culturals. It has reached such a point that some universities have contemplated banning filmi dance completely.
- What was optional if not in cinema?
Since the age of fourteen, I have been an entrepreneur marketing and distributing hospital equipments, medical devices, computers and accessories. I also dealt with antiques.
