He said, “Everything that has happened in my life, I consider it a vismayam (wonder). I never once thought that my children would enter cinema. I never had a dream to act in films either. It just happened, as if destined by time.”He also said that the audience made him the actor he is today. Looking back at his own start he said, “Years ago, when I came into cinema, there were no such ceremonies. You just came, acted, and that was it.” He also spoke proudly about his children. “Appu was selected as best actor in school, and Maya too has acted in several plays and won awards,” he added.
