Tell us about your early life - where were you born and brought up?
My Dad Col. Vasanth Venugopal (AC) was in the army and because of that, I've grown up all over India from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu to Bengaluru. Whenever Appa was sent to a non-family posting, my mother, my sister and I would move back to Bangalore to my grandparents' house. I studied in a host of Army and Air Force schools. When I was about 10, my dad was martyred in Kashmir in an operation and he was awarded the Ashoka Chakra making him the first person from Karnataka to receive this honour. That's when we moved to Bangalore permanently. Once I finished my primary education, I joined drama school.
How did your army upbringing shape you as a person?
