He weaves in history in a way that you can understand. He writes beautiful stories about love, revolution, longing, separation and rebelliousness. I have a very vivid imagination, so everytime I read something written by Gabriel, I am able to visualise the whole story. This makes the reading more interesting. He writes so well that you can actually visualise what he has written.”<br /><br />Cinema<br /><u>Amitabh Bachchan</u><br /><br />“Amitabh Bachchan is a fine actor and my favourite actor. He has the amazing ability to emote just about any character that is given to him. There is really no actor who can match up to his style and finesse. I am also in awe of Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor. The two men are extremely talented and charming in their own way. I like Ranveer for his energy and I love Ranbir’s eyes.”<br /><br /><br />Travel<br /><u>London</u><br /><br />“I enjoy planning a vacation to London because I like the vibe of that place. It is a perfect blend of culture, history and modernity. I also find the theatre performances there to be very lively. You get to see the best of street style when you walk down the streets of London. It is a cosmopolitan city that is open to people from other cultures. I also enjoy going to my grandmother’s house in Hyderabad because I have very fond memories of spending my summer vacations there.”<br /><br />Inspiration<br /><u>Vidya Rao</u><br /><br />“My mother Vidya Rao and my grandmother Shantha have inspired and influenced me in a big way. My mother has the ability to turn everything that is negative into positive energy. She is very gentle and has the strength to live life on her terms. She has brought me up like that as well. She has given me the freedom to choose what I want to do and has always stood by me. My grandmother is an educationist who has done well to inspire many a young minds. Both these women have made a mark for themselves and chased their passion.”<br /><br />Food<br /><u>‘Mutton biryani’</u><br /><br />“‘Mutton biryani’ is a staple food for me. For me only ‘Mutton biryani’ qualifies as biryani and Hyderabad is the place to go to for biryani. I am also a big fan of ‘podi idli’. I can have these two dishes at anytime. I also like scrambled eggs with truffle. I also make it a point to try the local cuisine of the places that I am visiting. I like eating at local restaurants and sometimes people are horrified when I walk into a local ‘dhaba’.”<br /><br />Musician<br /><u>A R Rahman</u><br /><br />“I am a huge fan of A R Rahman. I think he has a style like none other. I also listen to artistes and bands like ‘Daft Punk’, ‘Coldplay’, ‘Maroon 5’ and ‘Pink Floyd’. When it comes to songs, ‘Shape of you’ is my favourite. It can make me dance in a second, however tired I am.”</p>
