'I'd like someone in my life'

Opening up

Prabhu Deva, who turned 40 recently, says he has no time to brood over his loneliness. “Of course, I’d like someone in my life. And of course, when I go home in the evening, I wish there was someone waiting for me. But very honestly, I don’t have time to be lonely. My work fills up most of my day and when I get home, I just want to sleep.

As for company, I’ve some good friends in Mumbai and Chennai,” he says.
For his birthday, he flew home to Chennai to be with his two sons and close friends. The artiste says, “These are friends with whom I go back a long way, from outside and in the film industry. I haven’t met some of them for over a year because of my hectic schedules. I flew back to Chennai to be with them on my birthday — no party, just
a quiet get-together.” Prabhu Deva made his mark as an actor with films like Kadhalan and Raasaiyya. Later, he went behind the camera to direct Pokkiri, ‘Wanted’ and ‘Rowdy Rathore’. On turning 40, he quips, “I’ve heard life starts at 40. I suspect 40 is just another number. I have never allowed myself to stop and consider my age. I’ve always been on the move.”
