A sadya on the set of my first film: Kalidas Jayaram

At home, we make pookkalams on all the ten days after atham and have sadya and payasam, like everyone else. So I have loads of lovely Onam memories but the most memorable one was my first Onam after doing a movie as hero. It was different because it was the first time I was celebrating Onam in a film location, which was that of Oru Pakka Kathai. Appa and amma had flown down to join me on the set and we were the ones who hosted the sadya. We had payasam and its taste still lingers in my mouth.

It was a Tamil film set but they have no such differences and celebrate everything
