Bhanupriya, who had an arranged marriage, says that she and
her husband took a liking to each other because of their mutual love for the
arts. "Adarsh appreciated the fact that though an actress, I am a dancer first
and foremost."
But the dancer-turned-actress admits that she has "messed up as a dancer". "I
may be a good dancer, but I am at a loss when it comes to the theory."
Her regrets are not limited to her incomplete grasp over dance theory. She is
candid that she has got the fundamentals wrong in her personal life. "Soon after
marriage, I was pushing myself to adjust to a normal married life. There have
been times when I have gone into a low. But Adarsh has been supportive. After
the birth of Abhinaya, things have smoothened out."
The `wife' in Bhanupriya misses going out with her husband and leading a normal
married life. But for a call from the South Indian film industry, she would
still have been playing the role of the traditional housewife in the U.S. "I
felt overwhelmed by the fact that people still wanted me in the films. I feel
complete as a professional now. I have learnt to balance both my personal and
professional lives."
And part of this balancing act is the condition laid out to producers and
directors that she would work only from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. `I want to spend
quality time with my daughter. She is the most important person in my life right
now,' says the doe-eyed dusky beauty.
So, while Abhinaya takes up the bulk of her quality time, abhinaya (acting) too
is not far behind. Besides `Hridayathil Sookshikaan', which is produced by Bose
Verghese, scripted by Kalavoor Ravikumar, and directed by debutant Rajesh R.
Pillai, she is also working on a Telugu serial for AVM Studios and a Telugu film
for Krishna Reddy. As of now, for Bhanupriya, it is `Abhinaya' all the
way.
