A biography for Anita Hassanandani Reddyhasn’t been written yet.
“It was when I was shooting for a Telugu film in Hyderabad when director Meher Ramesh approached me for 'Veera Kannadiga.' I was game to explore a new language and said yes.”
“Shop on your travels; that way, you can have an exclusive wardrobe.”
“I haven't taken a break after marriage. Just two days after my marriage, I was in Chandigarh promoting my Punjabi film.”
“My role in 'Hero' is not a lengthy one but a powerful one. It was a nice opportunity, and I grabbed it.”
“These 24-hour gyms are a blessing and super convenient. For actors doing daily TV shows, we have to stay in shape.”
“If you fail to make a mark, you might not get good work later. So, it is important for every actor to have a plan B to bank on. Here, nothing lasts forever. That's why my husband pushes me to do different things in life.”
“I think that, generally, a woman brings in luck for her husband after marriage, but in my case, my husband is lucky for me.”
“I was very scared of heights and water.”
“The entertainment industry isn't secure.”
“I am bored of playing the bechari, behenji type of roles.”
“It's about believing in yourself and ignoring the fact that men dominate it. In fact, I feel women are as strong as men.”
“I have never been a good dancer but am very passionate about it.”
“I have done 'Gutar-Gu,' which was a silent comedy show.”
“'Gutur Gu' is a silent comedy, which I had never done. I wanted to do something out of the box. It's exciting, tough, and fun. Dialogues are very important for actors, and to emote without them took some getting used to. It's giving me scope to learn a lot.”
“It's all about giving it your best in whatever you've got.”
“I feel mindless comedies make you relax - there are times when I come from shooting and watch comedy shows; they really change my mood.”
“I love everything from ice cream to prawns.”
“TV industry pays us as much as the leading guy or probably more. All our shows are women-oriented, and all the TV actresses are getting paid well. There is absolutely no discrimination over here.”
“With our hectic lives, a dose of comedy is a must.”
“I would love to do better in mainstream Hindi films, but one thing I must say is that my best experience so far has been in the Punjabi film industry, where I've been around for more than 11 years.”
