Mohanlal’s daughter
Vismaya too has followed her father’s footsteps. No, she isn’t an actor, but an artist, a writer to be specific. Vismaya Mohanlal recently became a published author and her debut work ‘Grains of Stardust’ has been winning hearts.
She has now penned a note, informing book lovers that ‘Grains of Stardust’ will be available internationally from August.
And she also penned a note about what her book is and explained her perspective on arts.
“It’s a tiny artsy book, with snippets and drawings from a sketch book that I’ve had over the years. There are days when I like it and days I really don’t, but they’re all a part of me and my experience in some way. A little dramatic at times now looking back, but all honest to what I was feeling at the time,” Vismaya wrote in her note, detailing her book.
She also added that she has been getting a lot of interpretations on her piece and claimed that art is subjective, there’s no right or wrong in it!
“I’ve had so many people ask me what exactly I meant when I wrote what I did for some of my poems, or tell me their understanding of what it is that I wrote, which is always really cool and interesting to hear. And yea, my answer to that is- if that’s what it meant to you, then that’s what it is. I know what it means for me or meant for me at the time I wrote it, but I’d like the reader to decide for themselves and have their own interpretation. There’s no right or wrong, it’s subjective. And that’s what I love about art, that two people looking at the same thing can derive two completely different meanings from their perspective and their experiences; and I think that’s beautiful, because now, it’s not just my writing or my art, it’s yours too,” Vismaya added.
