Once I finish shooting, I head straight home and spend time with my family. It's only when I have to promote my films that I make public appearances.

While I did not get any formal training in acting, every summer vacation, from the age of five, my father would take me to Ooty with him, and I would do films as a child star. I did over 10 films like that, and it was understood that post finishing my education, I would become an actor.

I was born and brought up in Chennai, as the entire Telugu film industry was based there.
