“I like to write, but being a busy mother, it is difficult to sit down and write at a stretch.”
“I want to start a blog.”
“As a socially conscious person, I have my views on matters like gender inequality and progressive movements. But being a mother, children's issues have affected me a lot.”
“I have done about 25 films in Malayalam and won awards for my performances in films like 'Nandanam' and 'Saira.'”
“There is nothing in a name. My husband, Santhosh Menon, called me Navya at first, which I did not like as it was my screen name. He knew me as Navya and found calling me Dhanya strange, so he came up with a pet name.”
“I accept offers only when people approach me with a good script, and all those experiences have been great.”
“I give importance only to the story of a movie.”
“I am always for change. But I believe in slow and inevitable change and not a forced one, all of a sudden.”

“I am fortunate to have acted with a talented film personality like Cheran in two consecutive films.”
“I do glamorous roles only when the script demands it and that too with limitations.”
“I want to sustain the good name that I earned acting in 'Azhagiya Theeyae.' I am selecting my roles very carefully.”
“In the Malayalam industry, artistes are expected to provide bulk dates to film-makers. But now that I'm working in different languages, that's a problem for me.”
“I practice two hours daily and I feel happy when I dance.”
“Workplace harassment and gender discrimination exist in all spheres, not just films. I have been lucky enough not to face it, but I don't deny its existence.”
“None of us are alien to horrific news stories that appear every day about crimes of many colors, especially child trafficking and abuse. As a mom and an extremely emotional person, they have a long-lasting effect on me.”
“Though I love cinema, I had never thought of becoming an actress.”
“Luckily, the films I did in Kannada were successful.”
“I didn't take up 'Chinnanchiru Kiliye' thinking I should continue on these lines from now on.”
“I hail from a small village and whatever I have achieved is simply because of fate.”
