Ashwin started reading ponniyin selvan when lockdown began, and is now set to finish and posted "When the lockdown began, I started to read ponniyin selvan, I am almost done with it now and feel like I will miss these characters once the book comes to end. Those who love reading novels, please don’t miss out on this one, it’s available in english too. #Mindblowing".
The spinner also posted "Note: there are so many characters in this story, so don’t try nd dwell deep into them as you start the book. Take it through and read, the characters will grow on you. The names will feel unique nd different, but they will make you feel like you should name your kids after them."
