Cinema
Dr Rajkumar
"I have grown up watching Dr Rajkumars films. He was a versatile actor and one could learn a lot about life just by watching his films. I always admired his commitment and passion towards his craft. I have lost count of the number of
times I have watched Babruvahana. His deep involvement with every character that he portrayed is something for the younger generation to emulate."
Author
Anand Neelakantan
"I admire the way Anand Neelakantan tackles mythological subjects. He captures complicated situations and writes them in simple language and
presents it in an interesting format. I dont read a lot of books. I began reading some of Anands works when I was shooting for Siya Ke Ram, which is based on one of his books. I found the characters in it pretty interesting."
Travel
Dubai
"I worked in Dubai for a while before moving to Bengaluru. I have been to every part of that sprawling city. But I am still drawn to Dubai and would like to go back there for a vacation. The people are warm and welcoming. The food culture and nightlife is something that I cant get enough of. With the right company, Dubai is one of the best places to visit for a break."
Food
Masala dosa
"When I was a contestant in Big Boss, the only thing that I craved for was masala dosa. There were a few fellow contestants who were kind enough to make it for me. I can have it any time of the day. I also enjoy other South Indian breakfast items like idli and upma. I am an experimental eater
and like to try all dishes in moderation."
Inspiration
R Jayaram
"My father R Jayaram has always been my inspiration. I admire the way he faces tough situations with a smile. He has learnt how to stay happy no matter what and this is one characteristic that he has tried to inculcate in his children.
He has taught us that compassion comes before wealth and fame. I have always tried to emulate and follow him."
Musician
S P Balasubrahmanyam
"Music is a big part of my life. I am a big fan of S P Balasubrahmanyam. His voice lends life to every song and most of the onscreen characters remain in
our minds because of his powerful renditions. I also like Raghu Dixit for his lively performances. I always watch out for his new music."
