It took me just a couple of months to pick up Telugu.

As a matter of fact , personally I am ok with exposing, as long as it is done in good taste.

I was labelled a jinx. No one wanted to work with me. I was home for about six to eight months without any films. I did modeling. In fact, at one point, I contemplated quitting films. That's when director Ameer called me for 'Paruthiveeran' and I cannot thank him enough for it.

I'm happy I got to share screen space with established actors such as Vikram, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan and still was noticed.

I don't want to go to Bollywood just to prove I've worked there.

I am comfortable with all four South Indian languages.

My life and career can be divided into pre- and post- 'Paruthiveeran.'

Being a homosexual is not at all a crime.

I want to do a full on comedy, like Rohit Shetty's 'Golmaal' series.

Basically, I should feel at the end of the day that I am doing something worthwhile.

Every second or third day I'm getting calls from people with new projects, asking me to listen to stories. But I don't want to do just any other project. There should be some zing to it; something new.

I have faith in my credentials and hope 'Malaikottai' would rock my fans.

I am a huge fan of Prabhu and Karthik and have seen their films.

I dubbed for the first time in 'Ko Ko' and I found it good as I finished it in three days.

I will only do a Bollywood film if I am offered the main lead role.

My dad often jokes that I enjoy attention. But then who doesn't.

Actors like Anushka Shetty, Nayanthara, Samantha Akkineni are great examples to look up to.

When I started years back, there was a lot of apprehension to don a mother's role. People feared that once you play a mother, you will get similar roles from next time too. But look at actresses like Kareena Kapoor or Malaika Arora. They look so hot in real life despite being mothers.

I have played mother many times in south films. And I really have no problem with it.

I love olan a lot.

My mother is my favorite cook and she does all cuisines really well. I eat the delicacies made by her whenever I find time.

I have not done a full-fledged Hindi project but I want to.

Relationships have been a way of life and I don't regret being in one ever.

The funniest rumour that I've heard about myself is that I am gay.
