We all know her as a host and artiste, but Kavitha Nair has another side to her that only her Facebook followers know of. These thousands, whom she has never met, know her as a poet and short story writer. A blogger for the past three years, Kavitha has collected the stories into a book, added some more, and titled it Sundarapathanangal.
Kavitha is very excited about getting Mohanlal to write the preface and she adds that her association with him was when she acted with him in Mampazhakkalam and interviewed him during her stint as a TV host.
She narrates, “During the filming of Mampazhakkalam, I was doing my graduation and he had asked me about my hobbies and I replied that I read. He had suggested some books for me to read that changed my style of reading from travelogues to short stories and now short stories is the genre I am most comfortable writing.”
Explaining how Mohanlal wrote the preface of her book, she says, “I met him on the sets of Pulimurugan and gave the draft to him telling him that these were the short stories I was planning to compile into a book. I actually left it at that hoping that he reads it someday. But he called me in one week and told me that he had completed reading 20 stories and mentioned that my language was very readable and gave me a lot of compliments. Those words, coming from a person who writes so well, were a huge compliment. I asked him if he could write a preface and the actor who is so super busy took the time out to write one. Then everything moved very fast and here I am.” Soon there will be another new tag to her name — an author.
