Tantalising tenets: Curtain calls

Supriyaa Uthaiah, a theatre artist who will be performing at the Jagriti Theatre Festival answers our quick-fire round.

1. If you weren’t doing what you were doing, what would you be doing?
I love what I am doing but I would love to host my own travel show someday.

2. What were you like in high school?
As much as I would love to describe myself as a geek, I think I was quite the opposite, a bit of a trouble maker.

3. If you had to play any sitcom character which one would you choose and why?
Claire Dunphy from Modern Family. There is something so annoying yet endearing about her, and of course, I think she is hilarious.

4. What is the most absurd gossip you’ve heard about yourself?
I wish people would gossip about me and well, if they are, then they are doing a damn job ensuring that it doesn’t reach me!

5. What is the one thing that scares the bejesus out of you?
Snakes!

6. What kind of music sets you grooving?
I don’t listen to a specific genre of music. A song needs to sound good to my ears — that’s my only specification.

7. What’s the craziest thing you have done?
Well, I’ve eaten light bulbs, jumped off the 1st floor of a building... actually I should stop, this could be an incredibly long and censored answer if I go on!

8. What’s the dearest gesture you have come across?
I think, it’s the hug I get from my folks every time I walk into the house.

9. You’re a new addition to the crayon box. What colour would you be and why?
I would be a blue coloured crayon because it symbolises the sky to me. The changing hues of blue in the sky strangely enough are a mood determiner for me.

10. What’s your secret escape plan when you are pestered by someone?
I don’t escape. I just zone out.
