I used to love the idea of being in love, even though I hadn't been in love before.

Yash was a great friend, a fabulous boyfriend, and is an even better husband.
Regardless of where the offer comes from, I'll choose characters that are inspiring and challenging.
I was in my final year in college when I acted in 'Nanda Gokula.'
The role that I played in 'Gaana Bajaana' was that of a tomboyish girl who identified with the guys. There was nothing feminine about her.
It's very flattering to be praised for each of your efforts.
Every actor evolves over a period of time.
People like movies made by the Ramu Enterprises banner because they get to see a film with rich production values.
All the projects that I am part of get delayed for reasons beyond my control!
While I don't claim that I feel no pressure, I have strived to take up only those scripts that appeal to me. I've been lucky that the ones I chose were also liked by audiences.
For me, summer holidays, vacations, New Year, and any trip away from Bengaluru meant going to Goa. My mother is from there.
For me, the small joys of life make me happy.
Unlike most expectant moms, I haven't had cravings to eat anything fancy. But on one day, I felt like eating kulfi. In the next hour, every possible flavour of kulfi in all shapes and sizes were laid out in front of me.
What I'd look for are roles in which the heroine's character has substance rather than just glamour.
I grew up listening to this adage that hard work never fails. It is very true of 'Adhoori.'
As an actor, I love challenges.
'Gaana Bajana' gave me an opportunity to experiment with my looks. I played a tomboy in that film, a role that I hadn't essayed before. I have no regrets for having done the film.
I know my responsibilities as an actor and am aware that it is equally important to promote my films as to act in them.
An award, to me, means a bonus. It's not that an actor works for an award. I don't work for an award. But, when you get an award, it is encouraging and inspiring and reminds you that you need to do well.
All of us are in search of something or the other, be it dreams or success.
I've always striven to ensure that I work on one film at a time.
The first time I ever attended a Varamahalakshmi puje was when I was introduced by Yash to his family and kind of made it official that we are in a relationship.
I am not a very ambitious person.
When he proposed to me, Yash said one of the nicest things ever. He spoke of a vision in which he saw himself, his wife, and a stroller, with a baby, on a scenic beach. And the lady in his vision was me. That sealed the deal for me.
I used to represent Mount Carmel College in cultural activities, and a friend in the team told me to try my hand at acting.
In 'Drama,' I play a flirtatious girl who uses her femininity to get things done.
I don't have a dream role as such, but given a chance, I would want to play a historic role.
'Hudugaru' is a remake of the Tamil film 'Nadodigal.' The film is about what happens when relationships between friends or lovers is taken casually. The film will appeal to youngsters and families alike.
As I studied in a girls' school and a girls' college, I am comfortable in the space where other girls are involved. If you see 'Moggina Manasu,' which was my first release, there were four of us girls sharing screen space.
'Adhoori' and 'Sagar' took a long time to complete.
Getting the right script that will work at the BO and relate to the audience is what matters. You also need a great director to bring the script to the screen in a form you envisioned it to be.
There is pressure from day one when you start your career.
