With no supporter in the industry, how has the journey been?
I was doing my degree in Coimbatore, when I quit college and came to Chennai in 2005. I presumed it would be easy and even told my friends, “watch me on 70mm”. The truth hit me soon with survival problems in a new city. I had no place to stay and asked friends for space. Once funds ran out, I took up a marketing job. Filling up my bike with petrol, I did the rounds on directors’ doors. I also did an acting course at Koothupattarai, (a noted Tamil theatre group), which made me confident in myself. Rejections and [broken] promises by directors were life’s lessons. I am known among friends as a stubborn person and that kept me going during the days of struggle.
