We have our ancestral house there and my vacations as a child were spent there. I used to come from Singrauli, where my father was posted, for the holidays. I recently visited the place for the kuldevi pooja,” she says.
Recalling the time spent in the rural suburbs of Prayagraj, Kamna says, “We have a huge chabutra at our ancestral place with nearly a century-old tree that acted as a kind of playground for the kids of the family. During summers we were given a task to sprinkle water on the terrace where charpayees were spread for making sleeping arrangements for the entire family. My grandmother, who was a great storyteller, used to keep us engaged with her lovely stories.
She used to so beautifully narrate the story that I used to imagine the scene and visualize the character. This childhood trait, I believe, helped me to become an actor. She used to grind sattu on the chakki and make super delicious sattu ke laddu.
