" I believe cinema goes through a phase. There is always a phase of comedies, emotional and action films. " --------------------------------------

I am not looking for lead roles, what I do has to have substance. I will take it up, since I believe that what has to come your way, will come your way. Doing a second or a third lead does not matter. It is how well you do it.

After the Coke ad, Hindi film offers too have started coming in. I hear scripts, but I am looking for something special. Ofcourse I have always been asked by many; on who is is my favourite director, co- star etc. I hate to tell you this one cannot have favourites in an Industry which is almost works like a family. Agreed there are a lot of issues; now tell me who doesn't. I treat others they way they treat me so when the industry has accepted me this well I find it hard to think on issues such as favouritism. I love every project I have worked in.

Every unit behind a movie has it's own energy I found it easy to pitch in & do my bit of maasti.

"The perks of being an actress are many. The money, the fame, the adulation gives you a unique high." -----------------------------------------------------------------

I've seen attitudes changing overnight. I try not to let all this affect me. The Media say's I've earned a supernova status in the South with just four films. What more can I ask for?

The advantage is that everyone knows you because you're a celebrity's sibling. The only disadvantage is that the expectations are sky-high. That's a problem. Also Naghma didi started off as a glamour doll and then moved on to roles of substance. People might expect too much from me as well. I already have an image of the girl next door. Audiences in the South know that they won't just get to see a bimbette when they come to see a film of mine. But I'm still waiting to prove myself with the Mumbai movies. Don't mistake this as arrogance, sincerely I feel don't have any competition. And I will never compare myself with any of the senior stars. I want to stay in the audience's heart long after I have left the movies.
