Mentioning the word 'menstruation' has always been a taboo in India. People always shy away from talking about menstruation hygiene, and the awareness about the topic is very dismal.
I'm an actor, and my main purpose is to bring out interesting stories to life. If it involves a cause that I can be a part of, I most definitely will.
I run after good stories. If I did not like the story of 'Padman,' and if it was imparting the same message, I probably would not have done it.
I want to challenge myself with each project.
The thing is, if one person recognises you and takes a picture, then four other people who don't even know you want to do the same.
I don't think that independent or off-beat films are not commercial, nor do I want to categorise them. At the end of the day, what matters is how much you compromise to please the masses. But, I am not someone who loves compromising. If there's a lot to give up on things that matter to me, I start losing interest.
'Vetri Selvan' is the first film where I play a conventional romantic role, which I found very challenging.
I am not very ambitious by nature, and movies happened to me by chance.
While I am open to good offers when they come by, I have found my calling in theatre.
I love to travel and go to dance classes whenever I get time.
Every night, I watch films.
I feel art has the power to bind us.
A brand should live up to the expectations of people; it should deliver what it promises.
There are hierarchies in B-Town regarding many things, not just gender. Men also go through a lot in this industry.
I don't like people recognizing me all around the world. I really don't like that, as it's breach of my privacy.
I can't have double standards, so I do what I believe in.
I did not come to Mumbai because I wanted to be a star. I came to Mumbai because I genuinely love acting, and it gives me a kick.
I don't follow norms in my life. They don't make sense to me. I do whatever I feel or what makes me happy and feels right.
I've always been interested in dance and want to be a trained contemporary dancer.
The conventional idea of beauty is so boring.
