A biography for Shamna Kasimhasn’t been written yet.
“Unless I am convinced that it is a strong, prominent role with ample scope to perform, I don't accept it. I want the audience to recognize me for my acting talent.”
“I'm ready to wait for the best role rather than do all the projects coming my way and regret about it later.”
“I had once decided to quit acting when Chattakari' didn't do well at the box office.”
“After I got my head tonsured, I stopped taking up projects, and have been very choosy because my hairstyle doesn't suit every role. A few filmmakers even asked me to act with a wig, but I don't want to do that.”
“Frankly speaking, ever since my debut, I have been offered cop roles. However, I never felt confident about pulling them off, probably due to my short physique or the absence of the required traits in me.”
“Wearing wigs don't work for all characters.”
“At times, I would decide to keep myself completely free for a week to relax. But, after the second day, I would feel bored and tell myself, You better do something.'”
“The choreography in films is completely different. I find it easier when I am asked to dance to classical music, but it's a different ball game altogether.”
“Your performance should be acclaimed. If awards come, I am happy.”
“I have always wondered why I don't get as many good roles in Malayalam as I do in other languages.”
