Asin

I feel very happy that the society has matured and parents have opened up to their girls studying more and becoming working professionals and becoming bread winners for themselves.

I have no issues with any co-star of mine, male or female.

I started learning Bharatnatyam from the age of three. I have also learnt folk dance.

I am an only child, so not only my father, even my mother is also very supportive of my career.

My film career was never planned.

There are so many people who make their debut every day in B-Town, and there is no competition among a particular section of actors. Everybody is talented, and all actors are trying to make their mark in the industry. No one is competing with another person.

Women are no longer just born to be married. We are here to compete with everyone and make a place for ourselves under the sun on our own.

Both my parents are well educated; my father worked for the CBI before becoming a businessman, and my mother was a civil surgeon. But I did not want to be a doctor.

It was coincidental that 'Housefull 2' and 'Bol Bachchan' came back-to-back. It's not that I have a special affinity for them and so I chose them; they just came my way.

I don't get insecure and rush to sign movies just to be in the public view and news. That is not the way I am.

I understand different cultures because I have travelled a lot.

I have been very selective in the South because I was always offered the biggest films. In Bollywood, things are different because multi-starrers are a norm. All big heroines are happy to be part of a big movie.
