Perhaps, over the years, I have become less immature and more professional.

I never wanted to become an actress. I come from an air force background.

I believe that communication is the key to a happy and successful family in our society.

Sexuality and sensuality exists in every women, along with innocence, and I have represented only those through my characters.

I don't choose characters according to looks. I'm comfortable doing both glamorous and non-glamorous roles.

I am also lucky that I can forget about any character I do within 24 hours. I can laugh heartily within minutes of doing a crying scene.

From conception to delivery, it has been a great experience. I was determined to give a natural birth.

I can not forget the moment when I first saw my baby and touched her. My husband Srivatsan was with me in the labour room and his presence energised me.

The film 'Kaliman' is about the various travails a woman undergoes. Since giving birth to a child tops the list and I was pregnant as well, I accepted the role.

There is nothing private about delivering a child with doctors and nurses surrounding you.

I never planned to become an actor.

It would be interesting to get into two different get ups and play diverse characters.

I just want to lose weight and get back to being my usual self. There's too much flesh.

I want to do a good, high-tech-commercial-action film. Something along the lines of Bollywood's 'Dhoom.'

I never had a boundary as an actor and I am open to interesting scripts.

I'd love to do more Tamil films; unfortunately, I don't get any substantial roles.

Enacting the role of an investigative officer was like living my childhood dream!

I did my first film when I was 14. I did not take films seriously. It was just a time pass for me then.

I know awards give great responsibilities and audience will certainly expect more from you.

I only want to be a versatile actor.

I would like to have the best of both worlds and still enjoy doing fashion shows and shooting for commercials.

My ambition is to work in quality projects and make a name for myself.

I would like to believe that all the roles I have portrayed so far - no matter how significant or insignificant they are - have been appreciated by the audience.

I love that I am being offered films but I just couldn't do the 'cotton sari-strong woman' role again. As an artiste, there is nothing more I can offer there.

Not only is my husband the most encouraging partner, he is more demanding than me when it comes to films, wanting me to do better roles.

I had started modelling and doing ramp shows. Then I signed the 'Kama Sutra' campaign. Overnight I became known as this sexy, hot chick.

Magazines started insinuating that I was having affairs with my co-stars. That hurt.

I believe that success either comes overnight or slowly, but steadily.

I have always believed that I have chutzpah that a lot of girls wish they had, and I am proud of that.

I think that the child in me is ever dominant, but that doesn't make me less of a woman.

I entered a beauty contest on the insistence of my friends, and even before I knew it, I was in the finals and chosen Gladrags Super Model.
