'Chennai is a metropolitan city in its truest sense'

For actress Priya Anand, who���s lived most of her life in the US, her fondest memories are associated with her trips to Chennai.
���Coming home to my grandparents during vacations were one of the things I used to look forward to then. I used to take a long walk on the beach, eat spicy sundal and spend time chatting with them,��� she begins, ���I���m crazy about films and I���ve seen most of my favourite movies, including the evergreen Agni Natchathiram, in the city.It���s a different experience watching Tamil films with Tamil-speaking audience.���
Having lived abroad during her teenage years, quiz Priya if it was as a cultural shock when she shifted base here, and she says, ���I���d spent so much of time here that I always knew I wanted to come back for good. The USP of the city is its art and culture. Chennai is a metropolitan city in its truest sense ��� though we are aware of western trends, we never let go of our culture.���
Wishing Chennai Times on its fourth anniversary, Priya says, ���CT has always welcomed me for what I am. They have taken interest in me as an actor, supported the causes I advocate and have honestly portrayed me as a person. I wish CT rocks as it has always and keeps going strong.���
