Talking about his acting career, Sreesanth believes that it is natural for him due to his family background. In fact, he was the only sportsman in the arts, music and acting loving family.
Sreesanth added, “Stepping into the world of acting was natural to me I guess, because in my family, so many people are into arts, music and acting. In fact, I was the only black sheep that way, who became a sportsman. My father acted in Malayalam films, sister is an actress in Malayalam TV shows, my brother is a musician, my brother-in-law is also a singer.
“I always loved cinema, but I loved cricket too. I think in this short span of life, I have managed to do everything that I love.”

Speaking about the discipline in acting, the 35-year-old former Indian pacer claims that it is different from the sports but it is also very important.
He said, “Every profession has a different discipline. As a sportsman, I had a different discipline — practice, gymming, eating…but even when I am acting in a film, eight hours’ rest is important because if my body is not well rested, it shows in my eyes and my skin looks dehydrated. The camera captures all the flaws. So I am living a controlled life here too… Having said that, yes I miss the cricket ground.”
