Not Reel But Real

I have played many characters as a patient on screen. And today, my week-long stay as a real patient in the hospital has finally come to an end. I was badly hit by food poisoning. Something I ate or drank somewhere caused it, I don’t even know where. Now I’m scared even when I see food. I lost three to four hard-earned kilos as well. Anyway, maybe it’s because of my loved ones’ prayers that I’m able to walk around again. From my experience, let me say this- avoid outside food as much as possible. I know it’s hard, but try to be careful.

Riyas, a native of Thiruvananthapuram, began his career through mimicry. He even started his own mimicry troupe called Narmakala. Later, he entered the television industry through serials and has also acted in a few films.
