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.

For me, summer holidays, vacations, New Year, and any trip away from Bengaluru meant going to Goa. My mother is from there.

There is pressure from day one when you start your career.

I've always striven to ensure that I work on one film at a time.

All of us are in search of something or the other, be it dreams or success.

All the projects that I am part of get delayed for reasons beyond my control!

'Adhoori' and 'Sagar' took a long time to complete.

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.

People like movies made by the Ramu Enterprises banner because they get to see a film with rich production values.

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.

I know my responsibilities as an actor and am aware that it is equally important to promote my films as to act in them.

Every actor evolves over a period of time.

'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.

It's very flattering to be praised for each of your efforts.

I don't have a dream role as such, but given a chance, I would want to play a historic role.

As an actor, I love challenges.

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.

I was in my final year in college when I acted in 'Nanda Gokula.'

What I'd look for are roles in which the heroine's character has substance rather than just glamour.

Regardless of where the offer comes from, I'll choose characters that are inspiring and challenging.

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.

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.

Yash was a great friend, a fabulous boyfriend, and is an even better husband.

I am not a very ambitious person.

For me, the small joys of life make me happy.

It's a rather cute love story, like the title suggests, and is a out and out commercial. Given the title 'Ramachari,' we have a lot to live up to.

It's always nice to work with repeat actors.

I drink a lot of milk.

If you analyze my career graph, you will see that I'm slow at choosing projects.

I will continue to work with newbies as long as the script and the director are good.

Dubbing is an important part of acting, and I feel complete only when it's my voice that is heard. Having essayed the character, I know the kinds of emotions that are required for each scene.

If my role requires a certain kind of dialect, which I think I am not confident enough to do, I'd prefer a dubbing artist then. There shouldn't be a selfish motive, and it's always better to have a certain understanding between the director/producer and the actress.
