"Half the time I bunk school is because of my dad. On days he doesn't have work…I don't know how he does it; he persuades my mother to let me not go to school. It's great and lovely, we have fun together. I watch all his films in theatres, I recently watched Murari when it re-released. Honestly, everyone thinks of my dad as a hero. I feel that way when I watch his films. But at home, he's just my dad.”
Going further in the interview, Sitara revealed that she wants to see her brother, Gautham doing the lead roles. For the unversed, Gautham already debuted in 1: Nenokkadine, when he was a child.

In Sitara's words:
"I’m waiting for the time he (Gautham) plays the hero role. He already debuted on-screen but it was when he was a child. He’s going to NYU now and doing a drama course for four years. He’s definitely going to be an actor. I already go to acting classes too. I used to have stage fright a year back, but I’m over it now."
