There have been times when our career is uncertain, the film industry can be beautiful and judgmental at the same time. There are times when I thought of staying back and giving up.
I don't want to be typecast as a heroine doing just glamorous roles.
Bubbly roles and running around trees don't satiate an actor's quest for the best.
Whether I'm in a sari or a mini skirt hardly matters as long as the role I do in a film is substantial and makes a difference.
Director Aji John has a style of filmmaking that will surely appeal to all.
Apart from acting, I love singing as well.
Playback singing has always been my dream.
'Punda' marks my entry into Kannada and 'Krishnaleelai' will be my Tamil debut. It was a good experience shooting for both the films.
Acting with my parents was nerve-wracking. If they watch me act on the sets I feel nervous and blocked.
Nobody was willing to lend their bike or teach me to ride. Bike riding is very addictive and nobody wants to part with their bike for someone else.
Singing was a liberating experience for me.
I am not a trained singer, but I used to sing for my father's theatre troupe and that's where I learnt the ropes of pitch and rhythm.
I always wanted to become a doctor but then my plans changed gradually.
I am in love with Kareena Kapoor. I have watched all her films and buy brands that are endorsed by her.
In Telugu, they treat an actor or actress with great importance, and the Kannada industry is like home for me, I feel most comfortable working here.
I'm someone who loves watches.
I have never been someone who chooses a film according to the language. Since I am comfortable with Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, the scope of the film is all that matters to me.
I never planned to act in Malayalam. 'Yakshiyum Njanum' just happened and everything else just followed.
Chiru is very supportive of my acting career and always pushes me to do good work. In fact, he expects me to continue my acting career even after the marriage.
Given that Chiru also comes from a family which is closely associated with the film industry, I know I will get more support from them to pursue my acting career. I won't stop acting. As long as we live, we will continue to act in films.
