Shobhana

I have acted in many films with Shobhana. With each film, you get to know the other person better. This creates better understanding. We learn more about how the other person will react to a particular situation or emotion. You will not feel the same kind of ease with a newcomer, especially in love scenes and song picturisations.

Manichitrathazhu is a favourite, though Shobhana and I were not the screen pair. I played the psychiatrist who treated her. Thenmavin Kombathu, with Shobhana, was fun.

In the early days of my career, Karthika and I acted in the maximum number of films together. We were a hit pair. She was a sportswoman. She loved books. You would never see her without her books. She was also very intelligent and could talk on many subjects. But then she got married and moved away from films.
