Mast in reading

Urmila Matondkar, Actress

I love to read and can spend hours reading a book from cover to cover. I especially love reading mysteries. With books you can never be lonely and I want to appeal to all the parents that please develop reading interest in your kids. In fact, I love to read so much that I re-read novels often.



One such book is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I read it when I was in the eleventh standard, then when I was finishing my BA and once more just a couple of years back. I love the character so much that I wish I got the chance to play Anna in a film.

Reading has helped me in my acting too. As a psychology student, I used to read a lot and it helped me in understanding my character in Kaun. I had to do a lot of internalisation as there were no dialogues and I had to convey my thoughts to the audience just with my body language.
