His character ‘Bhavani’ in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic-tragedy ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’, garnered a lot of appreciation.

My wife is from Athens and we go there every year. It is in the Mediterranean and that’s reason enough to go there. It has a wonderful weather throughout the year; it is picturesque, full of culture and the food is great too. There are many beaches to explore other than Santorini and Mykonos. Many people do the mistake of going to Istanbul and then Athens, I would suggest exploring Greece on its own because there is so much to see and do. One needs at least a month to travel the length and breadth of the place.”</p>.<p><strong>Music</strong></p>.<p><strong>‘Bob Marley and the Wailers’</strong></p>.<p>Growing up, I was inclined towards Hindi film music because that was what we played at home. My parents had a particular fascination for Malayalam music, so I used to hear that a lot. It was in my late teens when the phase of rebellion and confusion took over me, I discovered Reggae music; I loved listening to ‘Bob Marley and the Wailers’ and have all their songs and I still listen to them. I used to be a big fan of Apache Indian.

She has been through a lot in her life in terms of her illnesses; she has had rheumatism in 1988 and had many surgeries. She was bedridden for more than two-and-a-half-years but still went back to work. I look up to Rajkummar Rao for the fact that he always had the faith and belief in himself and today, he has a wonderful career.</p>
