My collections are a reflection of my personality, and the satisfaction I get from wearing my own designs is indescribable.

I can speak Tamil fluently, and the sentence structures in Telugu are quite similar.
I've never been jealous of any girl in my life, but while shooting for 'Remo,' I was 'really jealous' of Sivakarthikeyan. The day I saw him in his pretty nurse look, I knew that he's going to steal the show.
I'm happy to work in Malayalam.
Whenever someone asks me to name a dream hero or pair, I always end up getting Bollywood names in my mind.
I studied in Kerala, so learnt to read and write Malayalam.
I don't have the time to design my own costumes, but I do give suggestions and style tips.
Luckily, neither in my Tamil nor in my Telugu movies do I have roles that require exaggerated emoting.
It was a great experience to work with director A. L. Vijay.
I had trained a bit in Bharatanatyam in the past but did not learn in depth. The same goes with jazz, western, and cinematic dance, as I was quite laid back with the training.
I don't think about my past or future.
More than comparing with somebody else, I'd prefer comparing my own work from film to film.
Going to a theatre and watching yourself on the big screen is a nightmare.
In Tamil, the actors have to take care of themselves quite well and that is something I am all set to be serious about.
If I am offered good roles, I will definitely be back in Malayalam, anytime.
The idea is to choose good roles and good movies. I don't want to act simply to remain in the industry, nor am I here to do glamour roles.
Fashion designing involves a lot of work, and, as opposed to the general perception, it is different from costume designing for films. While a fashion designer can take up a costume designer's role, it is not possible vice versa.
I always wanted to be an actress, but my parents were adamant that I complete my studies first before I take up acting.
Tamil industry has been offering me wonderful roles, and that is what keeps me here.
I am not concentrating on any industry but just taking up good offers, which gives me scope to perform.
I have never wanted to leave Malayalam films.
My family is very conservative.
I would love to grab roles like the ones my mom did in 'Oppol' or the role Kangana Ranaut played in 'Queen.'
All I need to worry about is have I done better than my previous film or not.
Someday I will get married, and I should be able to watch my films with my children, mother-in-law, and father-in-law.
After my schooling, I was not thrilled by the idea of treading the usual doctor-engineer line. I wanted to pursue something artistic, and I was good at drawing. The options before me were architecture, fashion, and interior designing.
I don't take up too many projects at a time. I choose with care. I guess that clarity comes because my parents are from the industry.
My parents themselves had a love marriage.
I always wanted to act, but not because my parents were associated with the industry.
Whatever big movie I work in, ultimately my concern is my personality. I make sure that I keep it up.
When I tell people that I am acting in Telugu, they ask me if I have to overact.
Even though my earlier film 'Idhu Yenna Mayam' didn't do well, I got a lot of good feedback.
If I get to do only 10 roles, then I should be remembered for all the ten roles.
I am quite a dreamer, and usually when someone tells a story, I tend to get distracted easily.
I believe each actor is versatile and different, so you can't compare them.
I'm the greatest critic of my work.
I'd like a balance of class and mass films.
I always believe in the projects I do.
I have never behaved like a star kid, and since a lot of people in the Tamil and Malayalam film industries know my parents, they treat me like their own child.
I don't want to be part of movies where I just sing and dance and go away.
It gives me a lot of joy when I wear my design at a show and someone asks me who designed my costume.
I don't know if I am going to become an A-lister tomorrow.
I like to prepare for my roles well, so you can call me a method actor to an extent.
The modern girl I played in 'Idhu'... came quite naturally to me.
