What's the point of doing a great character in a bad film? Instead, I want audiences to thoroughly enjoy a film and remember my part when they walk out of a cinema hall.
— Hansika Motwani
When the time is right, I will do female-centric films.
My parents have put in a lot of efforts for me. Whatever I am and wherever I am is because of them. I won't do anything to displease them.
I hate interference, and I don't interfere in others' lives.
Whenever I am asked about my personal relationships, I politely reply, 'No comments.'
Asked to choose between money and fame, I'd choose the latter every time.
I concentrate on doing good projects.
I'm happy with my commercial heroine tag.
I need to thank my director, producers, and artists as well crew members of all my projects.
I had worked in Hindi films like 'Jaago,' 'Abra Ka Dabra,' 'Koi Mil Gaya,' but 'Desamuduru' was a different experience.
As a 17-year-old, I remember positively dreading dance sequences. I would come to shoots, quaking with nervousness at the idea of making other artistes do retakes due to my mistakes.
Fame gives you a high.
I make it a point to study the character I do, and if the story demands that I wear a particular outfit, I'm game.
I always give importance to scripts first, and remuneration is something that comes later.
My mum is my biggest critic. She said I was good for the first film, but I can still be better, and I need to polish my acting skills.
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.
I watch my films with my mum and other family members, you know. I also know there are thousands of women who watch my films. I don't want to set wrong examples.
