No problem at all.. It was not a secret in Madras when I was growing up that I was adopted by Sri. D. L. Narayana a film producer of Devadas fame.. he made a lot of money and was a huge success, he was a telugu brahmin and adopted me from a family friend where my mother was a tamil iyer and father a telugu brahmin, their misfortune and also very bad marriage led to this.. My nana D.L. N. told my own mother when she was pregnant, whether it was a boy or a girl, he would take care of that child since he and his wife did not have children.. so here I was three months in their house.. as I was growing up I grew up like a princess.. but his wife my first adopted mom had a slight mental problem, she did no harm but for some shock in her younger days she became like that.. she was a excellent cook and a good person overall.. but was not able to take full care of me, so my own mother and also another person who came to be in the movies to act and sing joined the household.. he is till this day my brother.. :-) now Opposite side were a family who were palakkad iyers and he was P.A. Sundaram who became a director in GEC.. :-) now his daughter my Jaya akka took fancy to me and I started coming their house.. slowly and slowly I was comfortable living in both houses.. and I was around 4 I think, My daddy (mr. Sundaram) said to my Nana, since you go away for shooting and Mrs. Nancharamma is unable to care, why can't I take over her education and let her stay in my house during week days and she will be with you guys saturday and sunday.. so this arrangement was made since my nana ever loving man thought that was the best for me.. and agreed.. so this continued for a long time.. when I would go out with nana to all the filmy functions people were quite taken to me because of my color and I also got quite a few offers to act.. and I was quite comfortable speaking telugu and once I am in Daddy's house I spoke total Palakkad Iyer tamil.. the years rolled by and Dad and my uncle ( his brother P.A. Viswanathan ) got a chance to go ahead in their career so had to go to calcutta, Daddy was so dismayed that I may not go with them.. and he begged Nana to let me go with them.. Nana of course first refused... but all Daddy's brothers and convinced Nana to let me join them in Calcutta, so I went to calcutta in 1969 to live with Daddy's family totally.. but again, I came to Madras now and then and stayed in nana's house.. I was in college when Nana died of a massive heart attack and almost without much money, his wife my amma went away to Vijayawada where there was home built for her.. (1974) right that year I got married. to a palakkad iyer.. and later migrated to US in 1979.. now all the property of Nana's was sort of confiscated by his wife's sister's son and Daddy's brother's son is the heir to his estates.. My Jaya akka died of cancer in 1980.. she was the nicest soul every lived.. Daddy died in 1991 and uncle died about two years ago, my amma (mrs. sundaram ) lives with her adopted son.. (he lived with them right from the beginning) because of his some stupid misunderstanding, I don't even go to their house which was like my porandaam.. but I visit my brother raju's house.. that is the only place I know now.. but I have a lot of friends and some family who are very close to me.. but I have no regrets, what I got from all was the love and affection and nobody would have been more luckier than me.. My dads were my pillars in life and they shaped me to be who I am today.. this is the brief story of my adoption. :-) some would argue, in fact, my own sister asked me to claim Nana's property, but I was not there in the picture for a long time and what right do I have, I don't want anything that is not mine.. I don't want anybody's ill will towards me which in turn will affect my children.. and they are my world.. so it is better that I don't fight for anything, I have never been greedy or needy in my life, I am not changing now.. :-)
