I've been charging what I deserve. I believe I am worth every penny of it, and if filmmakers think so, too, they will pay me.
I never did films for the sake of money alone or for any favour or obligation.
I grew up listening to this adage that hard work never fails. It is very true of 'Adhoori.'
I believe that your personal life does not have anything to do with your professional life.
Yash has always been straight forward in his approach and is very open and candid in his opinions. I guess this is why most people approach him for advice.
Getting the right script that will work at the BO and relate to the audience is what matters. You also need a great director to bring the script to the screen in a form you envisioned it to be.
The first time I ever attended a Varamahalakshmi puje was when I was introduced by Yash to his family and kind of made it official that we are in a relationship.
For me, summer holidays, vacations, New Year, and any trip away from Bengaluru meant going to Goa. My mother is from there.
There is pressure from day one when you start your career.
I've always striven to ensure that I work on one film at a time.
While I don't claim that I feel no pressure, I have strived to take up only those scripts that appeal to me. I've been lucky that the ones I chose were also liked by audiences.
All of us are in search of something or the other, be it dreams or success.
All the projects that I am part of get delayed for reasons beyond my control!
'Adhoori' and 'Sagar' took a long time to complete.
An award, to me, means a bonus. It's not that an actor works for an award. I don't work for an award. But, when you get an award, it is encouraging and inspiring and reminds you that you need to do well.
People like movies made by the Ramu Enterprises banner because they get to see a film with rich production values.
As I studied in a girls' school and a girls' college, I am comfortable in the space where other girls are involved. If you see 'Moggina Manasu,' which was my first release, there were four of us girls sharing screen space.
I know my responsibilities as an actor and am aware that it is equally important to promote my films as to act in them.
Every actor evolves over a period of time.
'Gaana Bajana' gave me an opportunity to experiment with my looks. I played a tomboy in that film, a role that I hadn't essayed before. I have no regrets for having done the film.
