The workout regimen I follow works for each body part like arms, legs, core muscles, biceps and triceps. And, I work out daily for nearly one and a half hours.
There is nothing in a name. My husband, Santhosh Menon, called me Navya at first, which I did not like as it was my screen name. He knew me as Navya and found calling me Dhanya strange, so he came up with a pet name.
Before marriage, I was a very shy person with mood swings. But, now I can balance that and have become a better and stronger person.
Actually, I try different kinds of exercise. I do functional training, Zumba, classical dance and walking.
After the release of movies like 'Chidambarathil Oru Appasamy' and 'Amirtham,' I was branded as an actress who can do only homely roles.
I avoid carbohydrates-rich food like rice and rice products. Instead, eat fluids, proteins and fibre-rich food items.
I accept offers only when people approach me with a good script, and all those experiences have been great.
So much of grandeur and richness in songs unnerve me.
I met Santosh and we vibed well. As our horoscopes also matched, we decided to get married.
Before motherhood, I had a feeling that unmarried women are the strongest. However, that changed after my son was born.
After seeing my performance in director T.V. Chandran's 'Aadum Koothu,' Cheran was impressed and immediately cast me in 'Maya Kannadi.'
I hail from a small village and whatever I have achieved is simply because of fate.
When I was busy with movies, I had little time for dance.
I am fortunate to have acted with a talented film personality like Cheran in two consecutive films.
I am happy to get good offers. I would make full use of them.
Workplace harassment and gender discrimination exist in all spheres, not just films. I have been lucky enough not to face it, but I don't deny its existence.
What the world needs is people with integrity, people with genuine thoughts and intentions.
Thanks to Cheran, I play a city girl in 'Mayakkannadi.' I appear in trendy costumes and have more scope to perform.
I'm not eloping. When I get married, everyone will know.
Let me marry in a normal way. I know I'm a public figure, but the person I'm getting married to might need privacy.
