But being a director of a media school in Hyderabad, being actively involved in animal welfare and my personal life keep me busy all day.

I am open to taking up any interesting projects that come my way.

Doing films is not fun or glamorous as it seems.

I work with 15 organisations that deal with issues ranging from environment protection and wildlife conservation to human rights, and women's and children's rights, etc.

The day I set foot in Hyderabad, I saw an animal being hit by a vehicle. The city did not have a shelter for the bleeding animal, and I brought it home. In less than a month, our house was home to all kinds of animals - a buffalo with a broken hip, a blind mongoose, goats, dogs, cats.

I was always an animal lover. Even back in school and college, an animal in need of help was my responsibility.

It is important to sensitise children about animal behaviour as it will help develop a healthy curiosity towards nature.

When the Hyderabad Chapter of TFI approached me to be a part of their Leaders in Classroom event, I readily agreed to be a part of it. It was a great classroom experience. I really enjoyed myself. The kids were very expressive and it was heartening to say the least.

In Mumbai and Chennai there is method in the madness. Despite its large crowds there is a 'live and let live' spirit and a connection with good.

Children don't have anywhere to go except cinema halls, malls and restaurants. All three aren't ideal places for kids to grow up in.
