Quotes
Sobhita Dhulipala
Actor discussing her martial arts training for Vettuvam
“I have been introduced to the art through the film. India is home to some amazing martial art forms — like Kalaripayattu, Mallakhamb. I feel everyone should give it a shot. It's underrated. Physical look and fitness are on one level. But it transformed my mind to some other level that I didn't expect.”
NDTV
“I haven't thought that I would give this answer. But martial arts releases my tension, stress in such a way that I felt so light and tender. My mother wouldn't approve of this answer. But why should boys have all the fun?”
