Priya Prakash Varrier is a rare gem. Her first music video, Oru Adaar Love, became such a hit that the star's online accounts had garnered more than triple the amount of followers over night, after its release, resulting in her going from having 1000 followers to 7.4 million followers.
During an interview with the Times of India, Priya Prakash Varrier went onto explain her sudden explosion to stardom and how it effected her, as well her family.
She was quoted as saying, "I remember my parents’ reaction very well. One question that both my mom and dad asked me was what is there in this video that it is going viral. My parents are till date clueless about what made my video viral."
She also stated, "I became an internet sensation over night and it took me a lot of time to cope up and realize what was happening with me."
The star also went onto explain how her sudden fame has effected her online persona and what she chooses to post online.
She said, "I was always very active on my social networking accounts. But earlier I used to post any random thing which came to my mind as it was my private space but now I have to filter a lot of things and think 10 times before posting something."
