Kalari was typically used for guerilla warfare and is a beautiful practice that empowers the seeker physically as well as mentally."Grateful to have been learning this intermittently (but wholeheartedly) over three years! CVN Kalari (Her Kalari school) have been fabulous and so patient, guiding me as per my ability to learn and perform at different degrees over time. Thank you for being such wonderful masters."Interestingly, the actress, who delivered a baby just four months ago, has also been taking horse riding lessons apart from practising Kalari.
