“Nowadays, television has taken over big time and I'm really enjoying my stints there.”
“Moreover, there is nothing wrong in wearing a bikini or other skimpy attires, as many of my predecessors have set a trend in it.”

“In South India, the audience is more traditional than the Bollywood cine-goers.”
“It would be interesting to explore an opportunity if Hindi filmmakers think I can fit into any character in a film.”
“I would actually say to all the parents to tell their children to start respecting people. And, automatically when you start respecting people, it will give rise to give and take. Respect starts in your own house.”
“I believe in voicing out your opinions.”
“Female actors' contribution to films are at par with male actors. So just because they signed the film, they can't be taken for granted.”
“I have been getting some offers of films. But more than films, I have been getting offers for serials which I have obviously declined.”
“I did some glamorous roles and even wore a bikini in the Telugu film 'Drona,' but the audience was aghast. Some said, 'Please don't ever wear a bikini again!'”
“It took me just a couple of months to pick up Telugu.”
“I'm not willing to do heroine-centric films back-to-back.”
“When I started years back, there was a lot of apprehension to don a mother's role. People feared that once you play a mother, you will get similar roles from next time too. But look at actresses like Kareena Kapoor or Malaika Arora. They look so hot in real life despite being mothers.”
“If something nice comes my way, I will take it up. It has to be something substantial. I am not saying that I have to do films like 'The Dirty Picture' or 'Kahaani.' It could be something commercial as well.”
“Every second or third day I'm getting calls from people with new projects, asking me to listen to stories. But I don't want to do just any other project. There should be some zing to it; something new.”
“I am a huge fan of Prabhu and Karthik and have seen their films.”
“Sometimes in the mainstream movies, a character who is from the South is portrayed by a person who looks like a South Indian but speaks in fake accent.”
“Fans are always going out of their way and doing so much, be it my birthday or any festival or occasion or most of the time nothing at all and there couldn't be a better way than connecting with them personally and giving them access to my world.”
“I want to concentrate on my career and would like to scale greater heights.”
“I am lucky that I am part of a prestigious project like Raavan.”
