Recently, we caught up with Dolly to ask her questions from the Proust Questionnaire.


The Proust Questionnaire is about one’s personality. It has its origins in a parlour game popularised by Marcel Proust, the French essayist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature.


Here are her responses:

YS Weekender (YSW): What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Dolly Kumar (DK): When I am with my family and friends.

YSW: What is your greatest fear?

DK: Losing people I love.

YSW: What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
