I
always thought in my life we should not yield to any pressure
or tension to come up in life. Instead of scratching the
head for obstacles we have to convert it as opportunities.
Look
at me. Today the world has changed drastically. Bigwigs
have studied in their life and come up. Where as I have
studied only upto 9th standard. I feel it is the experience
is the real 'mentor' in our life.
When
I was a year old baby in the cradle my father in law had
come to the house. In the presence of everyone he tucked
one rupee in my hand and declared that I will be the daughter
in law of his house. In case anyone marry they will be
the second husband to me he had told. As I grew up I came
to know about it. When I was thirteen years my father
arranged for marriage with the boy my father in law declared
- Muthuraj later Rajkumar. In the traditional and customary
family I was told by my parents that I should adjust to
everything in in-law's house. The parents house is shut
for me if I make mistakes is the advice made to me. Before
I got married my mother in law once asked me whether I
am prepared for the marriage. I said yes.
 I
obeyed to my in laws and parents. Had I made up my mind
I could have studied. I studied up to 9th standard when
I got married. I learnt all the work in my in law house.
I was given utmost care. My mother in law taught me how
to cook. My husband's sister use to take me to bath. As
I learnt slowly I became inevitable for the house. At
this time Dr.Rajkumar was acting in dramas. He got a call
to film acting and I had to pack luggage to Madras. I
learnt Tamil in Madras went to market used to cook and
there were regular guests that I had to take care. At
a young age I encountered lot of responsibilities.
Once
I told my husband Dr.Rajkumar that I have to see my parents.
We came to Saligrama and my father told why can't you
stay back. Raj agreed to this when my father told. But
he called me and said that I have to come back with him.
I am not able to live without you he said. I was perplexed.
He told that "I am intelligent enough to handle the situation".
Giving an excuse I got ready to leave with my husband
to my place.
As
a matter of fact I learnt more things from my husband
and he is my Guru. According to me when the difficulties
come we get to know our power and strength. A small operation
had to be conducted for my husband. I had no money. There
was a little amount lying in the bank. I went to Bank
for the first time signed a cheque leaf and withdrew Rs.3000.
That was my first transaction. After so many years of
this incident I jumped to production of films. At this
time a closet of our family Mr Venugopal advised me that
I should have the "hold" in everything otherwise it will
be very difficult. Instead of others exercising control
you be the remote control. This particular advise has
played very important role for me in the film profession.
