Anita Hassanandani Reddy

Hits, flops, and everything in between - I got to do a lot of different things as an actor, had a lot of good learning experiences. So I think I've done reasonably okay for myself, and God has given me more than what I've asked for. ”

I have good memories of Bangalore. ”

I think playing a comic role is the toughest job for an actor; to put glycerin and cry is easy, but to make people laugh is difficult. ”

I've done second leads in movies, I've done really small roles, too. Other actors never bother me, I believe I'm decent enough to make my own place. ”

TV industry pays us as much as the leading guy or probably more. All our shows are women-oriented, and all the TV actresses are getting paid well. There is absolutely no discrimination over here. ”

To play an older woman, 'til the look is not affected, it is never a problem for me. To play a matured character, it's different. You get to learn so much. It becomes more serious. ”

I think TV is evolving, but on the other hand, there is a presence of regressive shows happening, but I choose to ignore that because I am part of a very different and challenging soap. ”

I have never been a good dancer but am very passionate about it. ”

I was very scared of heights and water. ”

It is difficult to portray grey characters because there is a very thin line between being nasty and slightly negative. ”
