Actress Anupama Parameswaran, who works across Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil films, talked about a highly emotional and honest incident she had witnessed early in her film career. During the promotions of her film Bison, she talked about something that happened while they were filming the movie Karthikeya.

Anupama said that while she was shooting Karthikeya, she was near where the goats were housed. She was having fun, while playing with newborn goats during her break. She felt extremely close to them and liked how innocent they were. At that moment, everything seemed normal and calm.

That same day, she had lunch with the team. Everyone got mutton biryani. Anupama didn't think about it much as she ate the biryani. Her assistant grinned and told her something unexpected after lunch. He said that the meat in the biryani is of the same goat she had played with before.
