A biography for Nithya Menenhasn’t been written yet.
“I think they call every actress 'bubbly' most of the time!”
“As an actor, it's really exciting and challenging to play a character which is much older than your actual age.”
“I studied journalism, though I never really became a scribe.”
“I studied journalism and was idealistic as a student. In course of time, I learnt that there's a lot of politics, and it's not easy to put forth your point of view as an investigative journalist.”
“I'm serious, in general, and I guess I cling onto the little freedom I have offscreen. Having said that, I am funny and, at the same time, detached from a lot of things in life.”
“I don't think I am really awesome. I think I have basic qualification to be an actor.”
“I'm often asked how I portray the roles I play so convincingly and express so much through my eyes. Quite frankly, I don't know how to explain that. I guess it's about who I'm as a person; I radiate it through my eyes.”
“I've never wanted to be an actress. I came into the industry to be a filmmaker, but let us say fate had other plans for me. I don't want to be the next glamour queen.”
“I don't prepare for any role. I go on the sets and do it.”
“If you worry too much, it shows in your acting, and it ceases to be effortless.”
“Had acting not taken off, I would've been glad to become a teacher.”
“I am not an actress who only wants to do lead roles.”
“I'm not insecure. Give me a good role, and I'll perform even for a multi-starrer with half a dozen other heroines!”
“I am not very fond of spotlight or even, for that matter, money. I appreciate the small things that give me joy. The most precious forms of happiness often come from things that money cannot buy.”
“As long as I know what I'm playing, I shouldn't concern myself with others' footage.”
“I don't see gender when I look at the world.”
“I don't belong to any social network, and I don't even message much. In fact, most of the time, I don't even use my mobile phone.”
“Journalism is not what it used to be. I thought it was an important job, but it is not. I'm idealistic, and it pretty much upsets me that negativity sells and that even if I wanted to tell the truth, I wouldn't be able to if my boss does not okay it.”
“I've been blissfully ignorant about the result of my films and don't get swayed by success or failure.”
“We should be actors rather than trying to be a lead; it will create a healthier atmosphere.”
