My father hails from Shantigrama in Hassan, but my family moved to Bengaluru. Even though I was born and raised in Bengaluru, I have strong ties with my roots.
Bengaluru and art are synonymous to me. People here pursue an art form and make their living out of it - not many cities can boast that. Art in Bengaluru is thriving.
Bengaluru is home for me. Being from Udupi, Karnataka, I have many relatives in Bengaluru. I used to come down for Bangalore Fashion Week. It was a lot of fun, and I had made so many good friends.
When I moved to Bengaluru to study law, I was looking forward to joining a theatre troupe.
I had only a few days in Bengaluru, which is why I could not pick up on the language even though I love to learn new languages.
My parents were born and raised in Iowa and my two brothers were born in Iowa before my family moved to California where I was born so I still really feel like I have those Midwestern roots.
My whole family is in Bengaluru and I have nothing but my ambitions to live with in Mumbai.
I am Dominican American. My father was born and raised in the U.S. and his heritage is German and Eastern European, and my mother hails from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
My family were Conservative Jews. My parents were both born in this country, but my father grew up on the Lower East Side, and my mother was born and raised in Harlem when there was a large Jewish 'colony' there. Eventually, they moved to Jersey City to get away from New York.
I have a huge connect with South. My father can speak fluent Tamil. He studied in Bengaluru. My brother studied in Kodaikanal. I am familiar with the South.
I was horrified to find out that a startling percentage of women, even in Bengaluru, do not go out or wash their hair during their periods.
Both my mother's family and my father's family go back almost a hundred years in the district. I was born in the district, raised in the district, raised my family in the district. And so that's the way I see myself.
I'm a loner, and I'm most comfortable living by myself, but Bengaluru is home for me, as my family is there. Having said that, once you come to Mumbai, you can't turn your back on it. I've grown close to Mumbai now.
In Bengaluru, I'm Danish's sister, and in Mumbai, he's Kubbra's brother!
The future is going to happen in Toronto or Berlin or Bengaluru and not necessarily in the Valley.
I'm originally from Hobbs, New Mexico but moved around a lot growing up. My family had a ranch 40 miles from town where they raised cattle and sheep. Shortly after I was born they sold the ranch and my father went to work in the oilfields.
I have acted in several theatre groups in Bengaluru and my passion has always been films.
