I've DONE a HOST of Tamil and TELUGU FILMS, a BENGALI one, too.

I did a 10-minute role in Rajkahini, in Manikarnika and a Telugu FILM too. I HOPE those left an impact on the AUDIENCE.

For some REASON, I shied AWAY from WATCHING TELUGU films but now I am HOOKED to them.

My mom was the happiest person when I first GOT a TELUGU OFFER. She told me that the people here love CINEMA and will also love you. I have to AGREE with her.

When I TELL PEOPLE that I am ACTING in TELUGU, they ASK me if I have to overact.

It TOOK me a while to GRASP KANNADA and TELUGU.

In the South, there is a celebrated Telugu film DIRECTOR name Raghavendra Rao, who is known for shooting WOMEN's mid-riff in a certain manner. They are done in a very aesthetic manner and doesn't LOOK vulgar. Now, it is up to the audience how they are GOING to WATCH it. As long as the girl is comfortable acting in it, I see nothing wrong.

As LONG as I am ACTING, I will do only Telugu FILMS. I want to take Telugu films to the world. EVERYONE should TALK about our films.

One DAY, I went to meet a FILM producer and ENTERED the wrong FLAT. It was a casting agency, and they suggested that I audition for a four-hero Telugu film. I was confirmed a month later. Interestingly, it's not easy down South for a newcomer to bag positive roles, but I was adamant.

In Telugu, they treat an ACTOR or ACTRESS with great importance, and the Kannada industry is like home for me, I feel most comfortable WORKING here.
