HI SARA! WHAT’S YOUR EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY?

It was Rakhsha Bandhan and my brother was sitting on my lap. Just as I was really caught up in the moment and how adorable it was, he peed on me! I’ll never forget that.

THAT’S HILARIOUS. SO, IF WE WERE TO ASK WHAT “FAMILY” MEANS TO YOU…

Family is what you go home to. It’s where you learn how to eat, sleep and think. It is the foundation for everything in life.

YOU’VE OFTEN SAID YOU’RE A BOOKWORM. WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE AUTHOR?

I don’t have a favourite author, but I do immensely enjoy the works of the historian Michael Lynch.

OKAY, AND WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
