In Tamil, the actors have to take care of themselves quite well and that is something I am all set to be serious about.

Even though my earlier film 'Idhu Yenna Mayam' didn't do well, I got a lot of good feedback.

I like to prepare for my roles well, so you can call me a method actor to an extent.

It gives me a lot of joy when I wear my design at a show and someone asks me who designed my costume.

Someday I will get married, and I should be able to watch my films with my children, mother-in-law, and father-in-law.

My family is very conservative.

After my schooling, I was not thrilled by the idea of treading the usual doctor-engineer line. I wanted to pursue something artistic, and I was good at drawing. The options before me were architecture, fashion, and interior designing.

I'd like a balance of class and mass films.

I don't have the time to design my own costumes, but I do give suggestions and style tips.

I don't take up too many projects at a time. I choose with care. I guess that clarity comes because my parents are from the industry.

Going to a theatre and watching yourself on the big screen is a nightmare.

The modern girl I played in 'Idhu'... came quite naturally to me.
