A lasting impression from Taare Zameen Par

Among the films he particularly enjoyed was Taare Zameen Par. Devaiah described its concept as wonderful, highlighting the film as one that stood out to him.

Childhood memories of Disney animation

Animation remains a shared interest

That enthusiasm continues in his personal life. Devaiah said he and his wife enjoy watching animated films together, with cat stories among their particular favourites.
