Roopika at Sharanyam
- Giridhar Raj Kini
Here are some beautiful photos of Roopika, famous film star and heroine in several great Kannada and Telegu movies, enjoying life here with us at Sharanyam Homestay. She came here with her dear parents, longing for a calm and quiet place to spend some time away from her hectic schedule, before the start of her latest film.
I must admit that we were obviously a little bit nervous in anticipation of greeting our guest, but Roopika and her parents were so warm and loving that they instantly made us feel that we had known them all our lives.
Such a talented Bharatanatyam dancer and accomplished heroine in films in two different states, and yet, Roopika is so humble, endearing, vivacious like a child, and always caring for others. Quickly, she became friends with my children.
Like an angel, she strolled through the grounds, plucking the fruits, and talking to the birds, and playing with the fish, enjoying the fresh air, the flowing water, and the blessings of earth in the fields.
Roopika and her family relished the dishes that Girija made for them using fresh organic produce from our garden. In the evening, we sat for a long time, sharing our stories, and time dissolved in joy!
After a good night’s rest and a sumptuous breakfast in the morning, she thoroughly enjoyed a visit to the local church, and a walk through the lush, green tea garden around it.
After a drive around the countryside, we returned home and Girija prepared hot, mouthwatering, pizza!
Needless to say, they tore themselves away with much reluctance, as they so wanted to stay on. Before she left, Roopika asked us for our blessings, which she received in abundance, but she also carried off our hearts!
