Before the Greeks were the Tamils. The Tamils are one of the oldest civilizations that's still surviving.
Tamil is my mother tongue.
I think of the Tamil poet Subrahmanya Bharati every day, and he is an inspiration in my musical creations.
I grew up a Tamilian.
I would love to explore my options in Tamil as well as Malayalam.
Though I am a Malayalee, I enjoy the Tamil dialogues penned by Karunanidhi.
I am a south Indian, so I speak Tamil.
When we say Tamil, we are not talking of a language but an entire civilisation.
In school I was sidelined by Tamil language teachers. But in the film industry, I got interested in Tamil poetry after reading and working with the Vairamuthu.
I can memorise Tamil lines fast. I feel at home speaking the language.
