Personal quotes
#“Glamour has been an integral part of showbiz from a longtime and the whole debate about exposing and vulgarity is blown out of proportions. As a matter of fact , personally I am ok with exposing, as long as it is done in good taste.”
# (About NTR)“He’s a fantastic performer. I’m amazed at the speed and brilliancy of his dance movements. I’ve become a huge fan of his. Nowadays, whenever I do a dance sequence, I ask him tips so that I can better my performance. Recently, when he said that I too dance well, I was on cloud nine. Getting appreciation from him is like winning an award to me.”
#(About Best actress award) “I never expected an award leave alone a national one. All credit goes to director Ameer for his faith and the technicians who etched my role despite it being totally deglamourised. The entire team deserves ample praise.”
# “There is so much bloodshed and action packed into our films these days. Pretty women provide the much needed respite to the masses from the melee of non-stop action.”
