Father and wives
Born and brought up in Chennai. Although he was behind in his studies, he completed his degree. At home I have one sister, one sister and one brother. Father had two or three wives. A sister is born to one mother and a brother to another mother. My sister in law and I were born to my mother. So my father’s married life was a total confusion. Father is now dead.
Reached Boise
I have been very interested in dance since my childhood. I don’t know how it came. The movie Boyz came when I was working with Kalamaster’s dance group. After that he acted as hero and villain in many movies. I don’t even remember acting in some movies. Many films did not reach in a big way.
Suffering is all
Looking back, I have no such fond memories. I have experienced many hardships, betrayals and defeats. All kinds of problems have been faced. I will not blame that as my life destiny. In many ways, I am the cause of it all. It is my ignorance.
Went to Malaysia
A girl in Malaysia met me through Facebook. I went to Malaysia in search of her, where we did not stay together for four or five days, during which I experienced many kinds of torture from her. She took all the money I had with various excuses and always kept talking about problems. Not even a good room to stay was given.
Went for sex
I didn’t just fall in love with her, she and I had an attraction. I went as per her insistence that Kure Ayella lives alone, let’s spend some time together, you come to Malaysia. To be honest, what I expected was sex. Went for that.
I left after telling my mother
I said I liked a girl and I was going to meet her. I am open about anything. I am not married yet. When talking about marriage, my mother would say that I am not mature enough for it. Now I am 42 years old.
Why did you go to Malaysia?
When Shakeela asked if she had to go all the way to Malaysia just for sex, and if that was necessary, there are sex workers here, Manikandan’s answer was that sex should be done by both of them willingly. Not for love, but at the same time don’t be for money. I went to Malaysia because I wanted to do it.
The reason for not getting married
There have been many romances during this age. There is still love. I don’t know if it will make it to the wedding. There were three or four romances at an immature age. Love in adulthood becomes complicated. I don’t blame anyone for my wedding not happening yet, it’s my fault somewhere in there.
What are you doing now?
I earned only enough money to live on. The most important thing for me is to enjoy life. Will play chess, shuttle and act. Mother is getting rental income. From that all will get living income. Meanwhile I read spiritual books and went to it. Reading is also an interest now.
Is there alcohol?
No longer addicted to alcohol. He used to drink beer. Before that I had a period of addiction to alcohol and smoking. Such were the alliances at that time. But it was only a short period of life. All faces are faced.
Living in the present
Now I am doing small roles in films. For me, living in the moment is what matters. I do not think about the past or the future, nor do I grieve over it. Whatever is happening in the present, accept it. That is the most important thing. Manikandan said, “If you take it like that, you won’t be disappointed.”
