AWARD-WINNING ACTOR PARUL YADAV SPEAKS ABOUT HER JOURNEY AND FIVE YEARS OF KILLING VEERAPPAN

LIFE IS A HOLIDAY WHEN YOU ARE IN THE FILM BUSINESS

I am constantly learning - right now I am reading and watching as much as I can about black holes. I just finished Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. Right before black holes, I was researching the Age of Antiquity and that gave way to the Dark Ages which then lead to the Renaissance.

Pretty and petite, shy and demure, that’s Parul Yadav for you. But as they say, looks may be deceptive. She’s not just a stunning star, but one who has shunned and shattered stereotypes and made her mark on her own right. Parul has swept the red carpets by winning some of the major awards down south, such as the Filmfare, SIIMA and IIFA Utsavam and with Queen, an upcoming film with director Pannaga Bharana and other films in her kitty; she seems to have a promising career ahead.

1. Please tell us about your growing up days. What was your dream career in your childhood days?

I grew up in Santacruz, a hardcore Gujarati area in Mumbai. I studied in a convent school and wanted to become a scientist. I was good at Science and Math, but terrible at languages. No one could figure out why at the time, but later I was diagnosed as dyslexic. I did not go to college but chose to enroll in an interior design diploma as I wanted to be independent.

2. When and how did the journey towards being an actor happen?

It was entirely an accident. I had accompanied one of my sisters to a fashion show where someone spotted me and cast me in a chocolate ad. After that I kept getting a lot of modeling and acting assignments.

3. What are your other passions and hobbies?
