When the time is right, I will do female-centric films. ”

Every good movie I watch, the hero becomes my favourite. I start blushing every time a hero romances a heroine. ”

I paint, and painting gives me my much needed break from my routine. Painting was a subject in my school, and I developed a liking for the lines and colours and started practising in my free time. It helps me de-stress amidst my hectic shooting schedules. ”

When I turned 21, I started losing weight - again, a normal thing for any girl my age. I did not take a conscious decision to reduce my weight. ”

I entered the industry at very young age, and I was like any normal girl at the age of 17 or 18. At that age, most girls are a little plump. ”

The only time my workout goes a little haywire is when I'm travelling. ”

Asked to choose between money and fame, I'd choose the latter every time. ”

I've finished 12th standard from Poddar International and enrolled for B.A. in political science in Cambridge University, London. It's a correspondence course, and I'll go to London for my exams once a year. That way, I can devote more time to films. ”

All actresses, including me, want to look great on screen. ”

The Tamil industry, while being better than all the other film industries when it comes to treating female actors, is still dominated by men. So, I can only work within the space offered to heroines, and I think I am doing that. ”
