I come from a very humble background. My father had to work really hard to become an assistant director. For a large part of his youth, he worked in a mill and took up odd jobs to make ends meet. We lived in a small room and could only afford a meal a day. Dhanush affordassistantbackground share on social
I've improved as an actor, thanks to my wonderful directors. As a person, I've changed, too; I was 16 when I did 'Thullavatho Ilamai,' and I'm 32 now. With age, I've sobered down. I'm calmer; I can see things more clearly now. Dhanush actoragecalm share on social
I have played so many romantic roles that I don't know if I am really a romantic in real life. I get confused about the real me. Dhanush confuselifeplay Change image and share on social
I don't know why, but rain comes into my head the minute I think of my childhood. Dhanush childhoodheadminute Change image and share on social
I don't mind acting in Hindi films, but the script has to suit me. It has to be a boy-next-door role because that's the image I have in Tamil cinema. Dhanush actboycinema Change image and share on social
I suffer from stage fright, so I blabber on stage and stop midway through my performances. I cannot even write a cheque, as it makes me nervous. Being around people makes me nervous. But I'm very comfortable in front of the camera, and this I realised many films later. Dhanush blabbercameracheque share on social
Unfortunately, I can only act; I do not have the looks, but I am very happy with what God has given me. Dhanush actgodhappy Change image and share on social
I've always known that I'm very, very ordinary looking. But I'm not alien looking. I am an artist here to play characters. Dhanush alienartistcharacter Change image and share on social
The screenplay has to be gripping. That's when the film will work. Then, I see how much I can relate to the character I'm playing. Dhanush characterfilmgrip Change image and share on social
