Rohan shared the YouTube link to the channel 'Katha - Where Stories Come to Life' in which one can watch Sudha Murty narrating these stories. The promo video on the channel shows Sudha Murty introducing herself.
“All these characters I have written for you, they come into my mind, they talk to me. Some of them are naughty, some are very brave, and some are scared. I have enjoyed their company, not you because they are not animated. I want to bring them alive to show you what colour dress they wear, how naughty they are, how brave they are," Sudha Murty says in the video.
