Unnimaya is an actress who gained attention with her excellent roles like Teacher in Parava and Binsi in Joji. The actor now openly says that he faced a lot of insults and rejections in his youth and was unable to ask for an opportunity to act due to insecurity. In my youth, I had to experience many bad words, insults and rejections from my surroundings. Unnimaya said that she also grew up experiencing all this. The actor revealed these things during an interview.
‘I am the one who has been shunned from many places as someone who is larger than average, not white in color and does not have a voice like a cricket. I have heard a lot of sayings since I was a child. All this will reduce confidence and increase insecurity for a growing girl.’ Unnimaya said.
The actor stated that it has been almost ten years since he started working in the film and even though he had a good desire to act in the first time, he could not say it due to lack of confidence. The actor said that the main reason for this was the doubt whether he was physically fit.
‘I was not able to ask for an opportunity to act even by being active in the film group. I am interested in acting and was unable to ask if I could be considered. I didn’t ask because I didn’t think I could act. The actor said that it is because of the feeling that I will look ugly when I am put in the frame. But Unnimaya clarified that she felt that she is beautiful, I can attempt this, and there is no problem.
Apart from being an actress, Unnimayya also made her mark in the fields of co-director and producer. Unnimayya also co-directed Mahesh’s Pratikaram, Mayanadi and Kumbalangi Nights.
