Padmapriya: down to earth
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,January 22 2008]
Padmapriya, who takes up experimental and challenging roles in films, is also interested in experimenting with challenging trips in her personal life. Whenever she finds time, she sets off for a tour, carrying just two sets of dresses.
The passionate traveler has seen all the places in Kerala. Recently she went to the tribal areas of Orissa. She interacted with the tribal people with the help of a translator. She ate whatever they gave and stayed with them without any discomfort. It was a tedious and challenging trip. ÂI used to walk up to 30 kilometer per day in the tribal areasÂ, says the actress.
She went to the area with the help of Samatha, an NGO, based in Visagapattinam. She stayed there for one week.
The talented actor, known for her realistic portrayal of her characters believes that, every actor should experience the real world that exists outside the tinsel town. Is anybody else interested?
