What’s your idea of perfect happiness?
When you know that you’re going through lows and that you’re going to get out of it. You are on your way to perfect happiness. But there’s no such thing as it’s not. There’s nothing as perfect happiness. When you’re happy, you’re happy. You’re sad, you’re sad.
What is your motto in life?
I would say to live and let live, but that would be so cliched. But it revolves around that. I’m gonna live and do the right thing.
What’s your biggest fear in life?
Anxiety
What’s the character that you hate in yourself?
I’m just thinking.
What’s the trait you don’t like in others?
I think great pride in a lot of things that I’ve done. So when people have this misconception that I’m actually being stupid, or that that I don’t think I can make the right decisions for myself. Giving them one slap really annoys. I’m 29, I live by myself. Even if something is wrong, I feel like it’s my destiny to go through that. So you don’t know what I’ve gone through, don’t look at it from the outside perspective.
When did you slap the last?
I don’t remember.

Actually there are a lot of people. That’s not giving you diplomatic answer. I’ll explain. There are certain traits that I look at and I wonder how they have it. So it’s a lot of people.

Bliss

Nothing.
Which living person you hate the most?

Who is the greatest love of your life?
Four years ago… I had rescued a kitten and she had herpes virus. It affects their eyes and her entire eyeball was out of her socket and she was also only one week old. Her eyes hadn’t opened yet. Okay and I had gone there running across the city, from Kilpauk to Anna Nagar to Thiruvanmiyur to Vepery to the hospital to fix it to understand what I could do to save her. But other than surgery, there was nothing else she was going, she would die in surgery as well because of the anesthesiology on only a week old. But we saved her beautifully and she’s been living for four years. She is blind, And she is someone who taught me to fight. You know, very simple like this little kitten. She’s someone I really really love.

I wish I got rid of this anxiety a little and I’m working towards it. So that’s probably something I want to get rid of.
What do you consider as your greatest achievement as of now?
I know I never felt the sense of achievement. If a movie did well, I’d be like, okay, great, let’s move on. But after being at home all these months, I am happy with even the smallest thing. And everything seems like an achievement.
What is the most treasured possession?
People around me, always.
What’s your favourite occupation?

Some lieing on the face, like when it’s blatant harmful lies.
What’s the greatest regret in life?

I understand so many things mainly from these lot of things that have happened. And, and this is my journey and we are good, bad, ugly. It is going to be my job. And I think of life as an experience. Everything is an experience.

I like to be a singer. I like to be a dancer. I like to be a comedian. I’d like to be you know, the smart one and the funny.
