“The combo of a great story and good director works for me.”
“My college life was brief because I started working for my debut film when I was in eleventh standard. But I have no regrets, as I stayed in touch with my friends who keep briefing me about the drama in the college. The opportunity to get into showbiz was so exciting that I couldn't let it pass by.”
“I can't titillate the audience just for the sake of doing it.”
“I am pleased about making a comeback in Bollywood, but then I really cannot think about leaving South Indian cinema. Whatever I am today is because of South films, and I cannot give up on that.”
“Thanks to a film like 'Baahubali' in my career, directors have the faith in me that I can play all kinds of characters, and I also have faith in me now that I can also do all kinds of roles, and I am doing that.”
“I cannot do more than two films at a time. I like to have a life besides films. That is very important to me.”
“My team or I didn't enjoy any administrative authority in the creative role play for the Telugu version of 'Queen.'”
“I don't want to sign four films at a time, as acting is an art, and art cannot be done without honesty.”
“Being appreciated for playing a female warrior seems too good to be true. I enjoy playing such empowered roles, and on a related note, that's why I agreed to become the brand ambassador for the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign.”
“There are ups and down in one's career.”
“It's high time the film industry stopped treating fair skin as a parameter of beauty. You could be the fairest of them all, but if you have a wicked soul, you aren't beautiful at all. So, skin colour doesn't define a person's beauty.”
“Over the years, I have realised that it takes a great team for a film to succeed.”
“Your shoes and bags don't need to match always. It's perfect to be mismatched, too.”
“Even if one is not a great actor, just being in front of the camera requires a lot of effort.”
“Completing your performance with your own voice is so important. It's not only my face and expressions... the voice added to it always feels good.”
“I had a lot of fear of height, but 'Baahubali' has helped me overcome it.”
“What's very important for me is that I want family audiences - all kinds of audiences - to watch my films, and the more people who watch the movies, the better. So I want to be part of popular cinema.”
“I don't want to act in a preachy movie just because that is more sensible. I don't watch that kind of cinema.”
“While it feels good to be compared to someone like Sridevi, it's also a lot of pressure.”
“I can memorise Tamil lines fast. I feel at home speaking the language.”
