I have good memories of Bangalore.
There is always a question that arises asking if am a Tamilan. I am 66 years old now. I had been in Karnataka only for 23 years; for the remaining 44 years of my life, I have been in Tamil Nadu with the Tamil people.
My father is a hotelier in Karnataka. There're no actors in my family.

When it comes to Sandalwood, I loved all the films of Rakshit Shetty and Pawan Kumar.
Bengaluru is home for me. Being from Udupi, Karnataka, I have many relatives in Bengaluru. I used to come down for Bangalore Fashion Week. It was a lot of fun, and I had made so many good friends.
