I am making a conscious effort to ensure that my acting potential gets tapped in every project I do.
I do not want to do the regular heroine roles anymore. I am looking at working with good directors on interesting projects.
Mahesh usually picks the places we go to for our vacations. He has an uncanny sense of where to go, and we just follow him happily. He is the happiest when he can roam the streets with his children, something that he can't do in Hyderabad.
Every relationship has its lows and highs, but how you deal with it is important. There is nothing wrong with argument, but if I am wrong, I always say sorry, and same with Mahesh.
I was never career-oriented, not in the way other heroines are. Of course, I took my work seriously. But I never solicited work and never sought fame or money.
I can never bring myself to watch Mahesh's films. It's way too stressful for me. All his family members are eager to attend and enjoy the previews of his films like normal people. But I sit at home chewing my nails, praying, wondering if this one will be as big as the previous one, and so on.
When Mahesh is not around for weeks together, I have to take care of everything - kids, home. But the fact that I am able to survive and not feel alone is very challenging. It's about a healthy companionship and being true to each other.
