Long before the cameras, the auditions, and the headlines, there was a 21-year-old with a borrowed camera, a parody video, and the audacity to believe he belonged on screen. In this episode, Priya sits down with Thavanesan Sivananthan to retrace the journey behind the performer. From navigating the early realities of his dreams to building an identity of his own, Thavanesan opens up about the lessons, setbacks, and quiet moments that shaped him along the way. This is a conversation about ambition, self-belief, and the making of a hero long before the credits begin to roll.
