Swapna's a protective mommy

She might have given a no-holds barred and harrowing performance in her role as Meenakshi Amma in Gautham Menon���������s Nadunisi Naayagal.
But Swapna Abraham clearly knows when and where to draw the line with regards to her real life role as a doting mom to two wonderful teenagers. The actress, who has a son and daughter, aged 17 and 16 respectively, is quite cautious about what her kids are allowed to see on TV and on film.
She says, ���������Both my children are wise beyond their years and I am absolutely confident about their maturity levels.Nevertheless, I put it across in a very gentle, but firm way, that they would not be able to see their mommy���������s very first film until they reach adulthood.���������
And she has her reasons too. ���������The character I play is that of a very strong-willed woman. In my personal opinion, there are elements in the film, which I���������d like to discuss with my kids when I sit with them to watch it. And that time hasn���������t come yet. Despite being absolutely open about everything under the sun with them, I���������d still like to wait for the time when they attain a sort of worldly wisdom before letting them see the film. I���������m sure they would appreciate it once they see the film in a socially relevant context after a few years,��������� she says.
