Actress

I don't know if being stereotyped is good or bad. But, that is the trend industry follows.

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.'

Picking up new languages is fairly easy since it's my passion.

I began learning how to dance when I was 3 and a half years old.

The negative characters made me very popular but were getting too monotonous.

I'm a director's actress.

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

I am required to shoot for 'Jaiyam' only for five days in a month. Being able to speak Tamil fluently, I complete 25 episodes each time I visit Chennai.

We can't be dependent on the police all the time. We can't turn a blind eye to the crime taking place in the country because we are personally not affected.

My role as Chitra is synonymous to my character in real life. If Chitra is crying or shouting or reacting in a certain way then Sudha would have reacted in the same manner.

I have worked with National award-winning artiste Upendra Limaye in a film and he is a fantastic actor.

Chennai seems to be the base for the South Indian film industry in general.

TV is what made me a star. It rescued me when I had no work and gave me recognition.

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

Crime is a subject that needs to be looked at in-depth since the percentage is on the rise.

More than any of my achievements, I feel it's a real honor that children are learning about me, that I'm a source of inspiration.

Throughout my acting career by far, I have chosen roles that are not only challenging but unique at the same time.

I am keen on doing a comedy in a full-fledged positive role.

I have a dance academy in Mumbai that my husband takes care of.

Since my childhood I always knew that India was a land of scarcity but this has changed ever since the BJP started ruling our country.
