“I would like to make a difference with my work.”

“People in the industry have their own judgment on artistes.”

“When I came to the industry in 2011, I didn't understand what the film industry is. I followed certain rules that people fed me but soon I realised I will have to do everything on my own.”

“My approach to films is very different. I'll do a film only if I like it. If it doesn't work, I can always work as a psychologist.”

“I have played a lesbian and it's akin to breaking social barriers. Many have told me they are happy that a commercial heroine did that. I have a few friends in the LGBTQ community and they complimented me on the role.”

“I've no time for partying.”

“Comfort is my style statement.”

“Some people are derogatory when they use the word 'south actor.' Some people just and ignorant about it and just use it because they have heard it somewhere and they don't find anything insulting about it.”

“For my first two films, I rehearsed my dialogues.”

“The kind of person I am, there are certain things I hold up in terms of principles.”

“I'd like to take my time to decide on a film before giving the nod.”

“Working with Selvaraghavan was a great experience.”

“When we start questioning everything, we'll be left with no answers.”

“We will use a resource till we realise that the resource is not providing enough for us anymore. And that's with everything in life. Be it Korean films or anything else.”

“My roots are in the south. I might branch out into different places, but I'll always have my roots here.”

“I learnt Bharata Natyam for four years as a child.”

“As an actor, I'm impressed and proud of myself that I'm getting to do so many things.”

“I don't think I can leave the south industry for good... It's where I'm from.”

“When I did 'AWE,' I gave my everything.”

“Watching the world premiere of 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' gave me goosebumps and left me speechless about ISRO genius Nambi Narayanan's journey.”
