Come Sunday and Manchu Lakshmi will be throwing a grand birthday bash for her friends. Explaining the reason for the big celebration, she says, “I used to watch my father’s birthday parties that were like festivals. So, I have been following the same since my college days. The other reason is that as an actor and a filmmaker, people bombard me with more negativity than positivity. Everything is life, and it includes the good, the bad and the ugly. So this birthday party is a reminder to say that I am alive.”
On her work, Lakshmi is currently doing a TV show Fidaa. “Generally, people see actors on screen and they don’t know what their work is like. They put in a lot of effort and it is not so simple as actors work more behind the screen. So I am trying to get some actors who I know to this show.”
The actress has signed a film (directed by debutant Vijay) and is doing a web series too. “I am excited about the web series directed by Vamsi of Dongata fame. The subject is like a ‘wife’s day out’ as she gets angry with her husband and decides to stay separately for a week. How the husband feels and his woes are the focus of the web series,” she narrates.
