Every time I travel, I love to understand and experience the culture of that place in whatever way I can. When I was in Zanzibar, I wanted to experience a bit of their culture in some way. While I was admiring how beautiful Rachel was (the owner of the resort I stayed in before I left) she looked at my long hair and offered to do the ‘corn rows’ on them. I jumped at that offer as I had always wanted to do it. Corn rows are very rooted in African history and date far back to 3000 B.C. In Africa, braids were a way to show people who you were. They signified your tribe, your marital status, your wealth, religion, and more. It is not just a hairstyle, it’s a LOT more than that. While the plaits were getting done we exchanged stories about own countries and cultures. So much understanding, learning and mutual respect for the other culture happened during that time. A big thanks to Rachel for giving me this experience. I loved it!

A big thank you to this man who gave me Sivaranjani. Sivaranjaniyum Innum Sila Pengalum is a film I’ll hold close to my heart forever. As an actor every film I do is special, but there are some that give me immense satisfaction and joy and a sense of having been part of something beautiful. #Karnan was one such film and so is this one. A big thank you to @its_mevasanth sir for picking these stories and for picking me to give life to Sivaranjani. It’s a mixed feeling to realise so many people can relate to Sivaranjani and see themselves in her. After winning many ‘Best Film’ awards in festivals across the world we bring Saraswati, Devaki and Sivaranjani to your houses. Do watch the film in @sonylivindia to watch excellent craft in display in all departments of the film. It was such an exciting feeling for me to not only be part of a Vasant Sai film but also to work alongside actors I have HUGE admiration and respect for. #Kalieshwari and @par_vathy are beyond brilliant as ever. Hats off to everyone involved in making this piece of art. Gratitude, Love and Respect ❤️

After an amazing and highly skilled performance, the folk artists invited audience members to come and dance with them. So I did. The only request from the artists (who have a PHD in Traditional folk forms) was for the audience to spread the joy of folk performances and to support traditional folk forms so we can keep them alive and not let them die. Do think of hiring folk artists for entertainment at your events. You will be helping an artform, an artist and supporting the traditions of our land!
