“As an actor you should be able to store and recollect your experiences and work on them as an actor as and when required.”

“My character of Ammaji in 'Solhah Singaarr' is that of strict matriarch who adheres to her values.”

“My bindis were undoubtedly a fashion craze, but I was zapped to see a woman in Nagpur use a curtain ring to glam up her pallu, as I had done in 'KKR!'”

“Initially my makeup for the character of Ramola Sikand in TV serial 'Kahin Kisi Roz' raised eyebrows of many who were of the opinion that my looks were too gaudy. But soon I was appreciated by the viewers as well as the industry.”

“Priyadarshan asked me during the shooting of 'Maalamaal Weekly' 'where are you from, Kerala or Tamil Nadu?' I told him 'I am a Malayali just like you.'”

“There were a lot of things that my parents could not do or afford. And when they put all that dreams into me and when I could not fulfill them, I felt very disappointed. And that was the only reason I wanted to dance with an artificial leg.”

“I don't see any difference in Hindi and Telugu television.”

“Dance is my life and I am happy to keep my passion alive.”

“Gujarat is very close to me. I won my first best actor award for my Gujarati film 'Kadla Ni Jod.'”

“Playing the role of the 70-year-old woman is quite an experience.”

“I am very happy that TV is going back to where we belong and what we believe in, the traditions.”

“I feel loved and grateful for all the love people have given me over the years.”

“Although the general format of a reality show requires judges to dish out the nastiest criticisms possible, we are only human, after all. Sometimes emotions get the better of us and you just can't help but get attached.”

“Being a dancer myself, I can understand the travails of youngsters performing in 'Magadheera.'”

“I'm a director's actress.”

“I am a Malayali. My ancestors are from Tamil Nadu, but they settled in Irinjalakuda.”

“I would go to school, then go for my dance training and be back home only by 9:30 P. M... and that's what my early life was about.”

“Failure has always made me a very strong person.”

“My bedroom is my favorite chill out zone, where after a hectic day, I sign off to land in my dreams.”

“If my journey encourages and inspires people to never give up trying to do what they really want to do, I will be truly satisfied.”
