Actress Kani Kusruti has always stood out from other actors with her acting and attitude. Kani got noticed with the movie Kerala Cafe which was released in 2009. Later in 2019, she received the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress for the film Biryani. Daughter of social workers Maitreyan and Jayashree, Kani has been open about her family background in many interviews. Now an interview like that is getting the attention of social media.

In the interview, Kani talks about her father Maitreyan and mother Jayashree. Kani says that her parents never once told her that they wanted her to be like them. In the interview, Kani also opened up about calling her father and mother by their names. To Kani Kusruti's words...

'Never once did I feel like calling him father. I get the same feeling when I call him Maitreya. What a word means is the relation of that word to that man. When I call Maitreyan Maitreya, whatever connection and love I have, I feel the same in that word. I get the feeling of father when I call Maitreya'.

'I call my mother Chechi (sister). I call others also sister. When you call Jayashree Chechi, there can be a mother connection, a friend connection, and so on but I feel the connection between Jayashree Chechi and me in that word. I don't believe that emotion comes only with the word father, mother'- Kani said

Kani also opened up about her love. 'Anand and I were not in an open relationship. Anand could never do that. Still, Anand tried to be open and couldn't so we took a decision. After that, the romantic relationship between us was abandoned. I'm not looking for romance in a relationship. I don't want any of that. All I want is to be able to understand each other when we talk, that's all'- Kani said.

Kani herself revealed that Anand had entered into another relationship. 'I am happy about it and still have a bond with Anand. I have always been an open relationship person. If I find a partner and live together, I prefer to live like a daughter in that house without getting married. I love that family atmosphere. I don't like to say my husband and children." Kani had earlier said "If my friend and partner have children, I will help them raise them.'
