Actress

Even if I had not become a doctor like my parents, I would've done something to do with academics.

We're living in an era where the audience are welcoming content-driven stories, and not just asking to see actresses as glam props.

'Mass Leader' not only gave me the opportunity to work with Shivanna and that too as his romantic interest, but it also brought me together with a great team.

After Porki,' I immediately got a film opposite Siddharth. Getting into Tollywood opposite a big hero and under a big banner was a big deal.

I'm happy with the way my career is progressing. But I didn't even imagine that being a Kannadiga, from a highly academic-oriented family, I would ever get into films.

I can see the gravity of this pandemic as my parents are doctors. This is not only a health crisis and we need to be on humanitarian grounds. It gives me immense satisfaction to help people who are in need and it is a very basic thing that I can do in these tough times.

I think proficiency in language helps greatly with acting.

I had been on a vacation to Sharjah a couple of years ago and it was absolutely amazing. We stayed at this beautiful resort that itself was a place to behold as it was replete with water sports and other amenities.

The same way that we as humans stay groomed in summer, shower more and get the occasional haircut, pets need to be groomed too - nothing drastic, just a trim and some cleaning to keep fleas away.

Till now I have mostly done the glam roles. But I do look forward to work for films which will give me more scope to perform as an actor.

The thing that nature needs the most from us humans is space. We need to distance ourselves for a while so that we can make amends for all the damage done, and let nature heal.

While handling social media pages, my father accepted every friend suggestion that popped up on the screen. He's shared some random videos and commented on people's posts. I told him it's silly paa ' and he laughed. Maybe on Father's Day, I'll teach him to order his favorite food on an app.

I consider myself a very bubbly girl who takes only the good from any situation that comes my way in life.

Humanity has to step up, take some time out consciously for nature, and help it recover itself.

I like being versatile and perhaps that's what pushes me as an actor.

I never planned anything in my life.

I have a Husky named Blu. One would think, given his country of origin, that he would love a cold water bath, but he is a third generation Husky who has quite adjusted to the climate in Bengaluru.

There are quite some interesting roles. Just take my career for instance. I played a vivacious aerobics instructor in Porki.' In my Telugu debut Bava,' I played a lively girl from a village. In Udayan,' my Tamil debut, I played a soft spoken Brahmin girl.

I've seen celebrities like Mammootty and Rahul Dravid traveling in economy class.

What a fantastic move against black money to ban Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.
