For actors, social media is a driving force.
I trained in Hindustani, and then I went to music school.
You can transform into any character of any age. It's all in the mind.
Sometimes, when I listen to a song that reminds me of something that I went through, I think, 'Oh my God, I wish I was back in that time!'
I did address my anxiety issues through therapy.
I think anxiety is the nature of most environments today, and people feel inadequate when they are not able to cope with it.
As an actor, I can just show up and do my job. The success and failure of the film depends on team work.
I love Kamal and Sarika because they are my parents. But nobody buys me a car because of that, and you aren't flooded with offers, either.
I'm proud of my lineage but never really depended on it anyway whatsoever.
After your debut, it doesn't matter whether your parents are actors or factory workers. All that matters is whether you can get the job done.
I live in Mumbai with my mom and sister. And, of course, I always consider Chennai as home.
I tend to detach myself from movies once I'm done shooting them, because after that, it's in the hands of God. And it doesn't help if I panic.
The Tamil film '3' is a movie that I will always be proud of, irrespective of whether it did well at the BO or not. It completely changed my career and people's perspective of me as a performer.
I never bothered about critics in the first place. And I'm not out to prove anything to anyone. Honestly, if I took every slight that someone made at me seriously, it just wouldn't work.
I've learnt so much since I joined cinema. I just want to take it as a positive experience.
I don't have the privilege of time to meet everyone all the time. But, I've always said that my dad is one of the most important people in my universe, and if someone's important to him, I respect that person.
I get to know whatever is written about me through social media. But I don't take it seriously, because if someone has taken out time to cook up stories about me, I must have done something right.
I've never considered myself a feminist, but I'm happy that I've been raised as a strong, independent woman.
Any film that can entertain and has a message and cannot be slotted into any genre is unique.
What I am signing and what I'm not, I do not discuss with either of my parents. I decide.
