“I wish to continue to essay roles that will help me find my place in the audience's hearts.”
“One thing I love about Kollywood is that, here, filmmakers are more experimental, and the audience is welcoming of it, too.”
“It's good to work with a writer-director.”
“I won't be satisfied with only commercial roles.”
“I'm happy doing good projects.”
“I really want to do roles that have some substance, and I hope writers give us that importance. I can't alone stand up and demand roles like that. It's a collective thing. Writers have to believe in heroines and understand that there's more to a woman than just her curves. It's not that they can't do it. They just choose not to.”
“You evolve with each and every film you do. In every film that I did, I learnt something or the other, and I am constantly learning and hopefully becoming better.”
“After completing my honours in English, I remember getting a photograph clicked at a promotional booth put up by Vaseline in a mall. I was just having some fun with my friends, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I will be on the cover of 'Femina.'”
“Radha Krishna Sir, the director of 'Jil,' had seen 'Madras Cafe' and liked my acting in it. He wanted a performer and so got me on board.”
“I am a complete sucker for family time.”
“I am a family person. I thank my parents for their upbringing.”
“I am inspired by the work done by Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra. They are both versatile and extremely talented actors.”
“Coming from the Malayalam sets, when I went to Telugu, people told me that I wasn't acting and that it felt dead. It was very subtle in Malayalam, while it is slightly dramatic in Telugu. It is quite fascinating to understand what each industry expects of you and work according to that.”
“As much as I like being part of commercial films that give me visibility with a wide audience, and love being the glamourous girl, at the end of the day, I am an actor, and nothing can be more satisfying than being appreciated for my craft.”
“Whenever I get a chance, I try spending as much time as possible with my family.”
“I understand that, being born with a certain face, people want to see me in certain roles. But one needs to break that image by doing different kinds of films.”
“Failure never goes to my heart, and success never goes to my head.”
“Acting was not on my radar ever, but after shooting my first film, I have realised that this is my calling.”
“As for body-shaming, there will always be people who will love chubby people and those who will dislike them.”
“I experiment, but I am extremely mindful of the things I wear. The key is to accept your body type and pick cuts and styles that flatter your frame.”
