I did some glamorous roles and even wore a bikini in the Telugu film 'Drona,' but the audience was aghast. Some said, 'Please don't ever wear a bikini again!'
I think women have the natural ability to do multi-tasking.
Post 'Chennai Express,' I got several offers from Hindi cinema, but nothing substantial came my way.
'Chandi' was received well and my performance was particularly appreciated.
I'm always afraid to act when I don't know the language and it perturbs me during my dubbing sessions too.
I'm not willing to do heroine-centric films back-to-back.
Somewhere down the line, I want to do masala films too.
I've worked with the likes of Ram Gopal Varma in 'Rakhta Charitra' and Mani Ratman in 'Raavan' - both these films released in Hindi as well. You need to have something substantial to make a mark in Bollywood and these movies gave me strong characters.
There's nothing wrong in sporting a bikini. If the director wants to shoot you in a pool, you cannot be wearing denims or a saree - you need to be dressed accordingly to the situation.
Sometimes in the mainstream movies, a character who is from the South is portrayed by a person who looks like a South Indian but speaks in fake accent.
I have not done a full-fledged Hindi project but I want to.
My mother is my favorite cook and she does all cuisines really well. I eat the delicacies made by her whenever I find time.
I love olan a lot.
I have played mother many times in south films. And I really have no problem with it.
When I started years back, there was a lot of apprehension to don a mother's role. People feared that once you play a mother, you will get similar roles from next time too. But look at actresses like Kareena Kapoor or Malaika Arora. They look so hot in real life despite being mothers.
Actors like Anushka Shetty, Nayanthara, Samantha Akkineni are great examples to look up to.
My dad often jokes that I enjoy attention. But then who doesn't.
I will only do a Bollywood film if I am offered the main lead role.
I dubbed for the first time in 'Ko Ko' and I found it good as I finished it in three days.
I am a huge fan of Prabhu and Karthik and have seen their films.
