Please tell us about your growing up days. What was your dream career in your childhood days?

I’m from a village called Keradi in Udupi, Coastal Karnataka. There’s a famous temple near my house called the Kollur Mookambika. If you’ve watched Kantara you would have seen the Kodachadri hills and the procession. That is the hills where the procession takes place. It belongs to Kollur temple and is very famous. I was born there on 7-71983. My father Y Bhaskar Shetty is an astrologist and _ still practices. My mother Ratnavati Shetty and is a homemaker in the village. She also looks after all the agriculture in our farms. I have an older brother and a sister and I’m the youngest of all the three kids. I studied till my fifth standard in that village itself and after that I came to a nearby village in Kundapur and studied there till PU.
