Personal Quotes
# "Celebrities can show the way by sensitising people to social issues, campaigning for causes or being part of fund-raisers."
# "I don’t consider Kollywood or Bollywood as separate entities. For me, there’s only a single category, the Indian film industry, which is extremely rich owing to its diverse genres and languages."
# "I want to bring back the charm of classical dance to the Indian screen but there is hardly any one making pure dance films these days."
# "I want to dance with Hrithik Roshan and Madhuri Dixit in a Hindi film."
# "I always believe in doing my job. I would have obviously been happy had those films become hits. But those things were beyond me. I can’t worry over things that I can’t control."
# "I don’t believe in the point that women are stronger than men or men are stronger than women. Men and women should coexist and live together. Woman and man combine together to make a family."
# "I was a part of a dance team from our college. Dance is the only thing that actually takes me out of everything and relieves me."
# ""There will be different kinds of persons in the industry. The behaviour of some individuals will be quite odd. As far as me, I did not face any sour experiences so far and all I faced are good encounters."
# "I studied in a co-education school, I have both girl friends as well as boy friends. I am in touch with my friends even now. Generally, I will be quite friendly with everyone. I don't like to remain moody at the shooting spot. I speak to everyone and at the same time work with dedication."
# "Destiny decides that a person should marry a person. I just strongly believe it."
# "I can speak and understand Telugu very well, though my grammar is not good. People laugh at me when I speak Telugu, so I shy away from it. You know, I don’t want people to make fun of me."
#"I was born with a good figure. To tell you the truth, both my mother and I are very conscious about health. In fact, it was my mother who taught me how to stay fit and slim. I never eat sweets or ice screams to remain slim. I also do yoga every morning."
# "Shankar called me one fine day and told me that he was impressed by my looks and performance in ‘Mazhai’. I couldn’t believe my ears when he asked me if I want to play Rajnikanth’s heroine in ‘Sivaji’. I said ‘yes’ in no time."
# "Rajini sir is the best human being I have seen. He is ever helpful and very patient. He has answer for everything – such is the dept of his knowledge. None of the unit of the film knew about Spain when went there but Rajni sir knows almost everything about the country from customs to its political history. He is the most relaxed, hard working and knowledgeable person I have ever met."
# "You know, I weigh 54 kilos. I make sure that I work out in gym for at least 45 minutes a day. To me, fitness matters and not figures."
# "I have an egg white omelette, porridge and paratha for breakfast and it is the favorite meal of the day. Plain roti with Dal and Bhindi for lunch is fine. I love Chennai for availability of fresh fish. I love Andhra, Malabar or Goan fish curry but red meat is a complete no. Chicken is avoidable too. I am basically a foodie but I keep away from junk food. Thai cuisine is my personal favorite."
