My current favourites are the ones I read to my son. You'll find the Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae and The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson on the bedside table. As for my personal reading, I enjoy the romantic genre.

Among Tamil films, I like Mani Ratnam’s Kaatru Veliyidai and O Kadhal Kanmani. And when it comes to Hollywood, The Intern, Silver Linings Playbook, The Bourne Identity, Accidentally Engaged, Love On The Sidelines and Speed are some of my favourites. 

I love horse riding and playing tennis. As a child, I would wake up at 6.00 am and go to the amateur rider's club every alternate day before heading to school. Now, I go for horse riding whenever we visit the farm. As for tennis, I can play for hours. It's one sport that helps me concentrate. 

Chinese and Italian are two of my favorite cuisines. I also like fondue a lot.

I was mesmerised by Sicily in Italy. The small coastal towns, the local cuisine, the ancient architecture, the beaches and the warm people. I was thrilled to see a volcano and even had the chance to go inside one of them.
