Im in the midst of making a bed ready for the next batch of saplings to be planted. Can I call you back a little later?” he says in that unmistakable baritone he’s known for. It’s 5.30pm and Prakash Raj, it appears, is rather busy with farming at his farm house in the outskirts of Hyderabad. An hour later he returns the call and says, “Ah! Let’s continue.
I was getting wrapped for the day. There’s so much happening here.” It’s evident that the actor has been both busy and enjoying his time in equal measure on the farm and during the course of the conversation, we get to know that he’s been there since March 11, much ahead of the lockdown. “I am busy celebrating life. My mother, wife, daughters and son everyone is with me and we love every moment. Life has given us this opportunity to reconnect with ourselves and our near and dear ones, so what more could we ask for? Moreover, summers are the best time at the farm. Mangoes are aplenty, there’s pickle to be made, cashews to be harvested, jack fruits to be plucked, fresh bananas, swimming in the pond with the kids, watering our kitchen garden... this lockdown has been a blessing in disguise,” Prakash tells us.
