I am happy wherever I get success.
No amount of learning goes to waste. It adds to building your skill set and intellect.
Everybody needs a hit, but at the same time, people have to like my work, too. I'm more thankful for the fact that people appreciated my work in every film, and I work hard to earn that.
Sleep is my best friend... A friend that helps you dream, relaxes, recharges, and is there at the end of every day!
Mum has discreet spontaneity - she has an ease in front of the camera, which comes naturally - whereas dad is a kind of an acting ninja. He attacks you with his acting, which is overwhelming.
If I can tolerate my own singing, then people can do so, too.
I turn to my parents for support, but their lives and careers are different and mine is different, so I don't consult them regarding my career. I make my own choices.
Television is a huge industry, and actors down south are aware of it.
I'm not going to lie; having acting greats like Kamal Haasan and Sarika as parents has, in a sense, opened doors.
My philosophy is to be strong and work hard.
When we grow up, we tend to forget our first crush, first love, as we move along. Only when you see something on TV or hear someone say something do you go back to those moments.
Having worked in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil film industries, I've been lucky to have travelled far and wide for shoots.
We need to put an end to discrimination against women, and the power to bring about this change lies in our hands.
I have always believed that if a film has only two characters, but they do not make any sense, then the film's meaningless.
I first came to Mumbai when I was very young. My mom is from here, and dad always had some work around here, so Mumbai always felt like a second home. I moved here when I was 16 and went to junior college here as well.
I don't think I'm defying stereotypes on purpose. If it so appears that way, so be it. For me, I've been brought up that way.
I love this... being busy and working every day.
When I was a musician, I had no intention of taking up acting.
It really broke my heart when music took a back seat when I was concentrating more on films. It was like choosing between two children.
I party only with my close friends in Chennai and L.A.
