She had a deep passion for classical dance since she was a child. She started learning Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi at a very young age. In an interview, the actress revealed that she practised dance for approximately three hours every day since she was six years old.

The symptoms explained by patient are called Atura Samvedhya Lakshanas and the signs elicited and diagnosed by the physician are called as Vaidya Samvedhya Lakshanas. Roopa says these experiences have made her more open, making her realise a lot of the “banter” and unwanted comments she received were unacceptable.There’s certain opportunities I’ve had, which I know that it’s because I’m an Indian-Welsh-Liverpool-Wales fan. The music of ATMA beautifully portrays life. Love, loss, grief, separation and ultimately, the bliss of union.

Roopa left advertising in 2004, so that she could become a full-time writer. She lives with her husband, her two young sons, and twin girls in south east England and south west France. Opera North’s commission for this year’s PRSF New Music Biennial, The Crossing is woven from improvised exchanges between the four artists and is described by Roopa as “a movement from loss to renewal”. Following Wales’ first World Cup in 64 years, Roopa reflects proudly on the inclusive space she and others are carving out within football fanbases. In 2018, she was posted as Inspector General of Police and Director of Karnataka State Fire and Emergency Services. The Rupas are clearly manifested in comparison to the Purvarupas – It is not that all the premonitory symptoms progress to form the rupas, few purvarupas disappear in the process of transformation of the disease from the Sthana Samshraya to Vyakta stage. Those Purvarupas which progress to become Rupas are strongly and clearly manifested in comparison to the Purvarupas.

During this time, Roopa recalls losing touch with the social aspect of the sport, something she had previously loved. She remembers cutting this out of her match day routines, and even wanting to leave games half way through.Some Rupas progress, some disappear – When the disease progress from the Vyakta Avastha to Bheda Avastha, some lakshanas too progress into Bheda stage and continue to stay along with the disease in the form of complications. Some symptoms may disappear in the pathway of transformation of the disease into the stage of complications.
