I usually mug up my Telugu dialogues much before going to the sets every day.
I am sweet and diplomatic in real life.
I played a tomboy character in 'Dohchay.'
The title 'Dohchay' is very perfect for the film. It is used very well in the title track. If you see the film, you will understand it.
I think every industry is a male-dominated industry. Whether it is Tollywood or Bollywood or India as a whole, it is male-dominated. We stay in India, and it has been patriarchal society.
Sudheer Varma is very easy going and very confident director. He knows exactly what he wants. He has a very good vision and knows how many shots he wants for a scene. He is super fast. He gives freedom for actors to try different things. The atmosphere on the sets was never serious. We had great fun working together.
My mom keeps khabar of everything, so I don't feel lonely.
I auditioned for quite a lot of films. I do not wish to name the films I auditioned for. There were times when I knew I would not be fit for this film, or I would not get this film. Still, I used to audition for it just to get experience... to practice.
If you don't come from film family, it takes time for people to register you. When you don't come from film family, the connection with the audience takes time to build up; it happens eventually.
I have been a little lucky to get work. I know there are people who struggle a lot to get a film; I believe a lot in destiny. Things have fallen into place for me.
Destiny plays an important part, but talent and hard work is also important.
It's better to focus on one film rather than take up two or three films at the same time.
When I did my first film, I did not understand or speak Telugu.
At the end of the day, it is about what you are doing in the film.
Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.
False stories used to affect me initially. But now, I've come to understand that if false stories are created, they are also forgotten in the long run.
Women simply need to know the right technique of shaving to get the best results.
I would never do anything that's derogatory to women.
After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few fashion shows, ad shoots, and even got a few Bollywood offers, but nothing great.
There was a lot of pressure on me when I signed 'Dilwale,' and though it did not do as well in India, overseas the business was crazy despite competition from another film.
