Dhananjaya says his friends have been his support system through last year

For Dhananjaya, living by himself away from his family is not something new, as he has been living alone in Bengaluru for a decade. The actor, though, says the past year has been a tad different because the

pandemic

literally ensured most people got to stay away from home for the longest period.
"It is still a grim situation and all of us are very helpless. The best we can do is to stay safe and indoors, and it looks like this situation will take some time to change. But, I've had my closest set of

friends

who have always been with me through this period, which has made it easier for me," he shares.
Dhananjaya particularly says that two of his friends - actors

NS Nagabhushana

and

Poornachandra Mysore

- have been there for him through the past year. "The best bit is that they've been there to feed me and take care of me. They go on YouTube and check out tutorials to make new dishes and dole them out for me," says Dhananjaya, who thinks that their being by his side has ensured a cushion through these hard times.
Quiz Dhananjaya about what his contribution in the kitchen is for them and he laughs, "Oh, I very religiously eat everything that they prepare. So I'm playing my part well."
