I got offered to do an OTT film with Nawazuddin Siddiqui two years ago that I was uncomfortable doing because it had a nude scene. I was asked why I can't do it again if I did it before, many didn't realize I've actually never gone nude for 'Ice Cream,' it was just a publicity gimmick.

Sex education is very relevant in today's world where children have access to adult content across media. So it has become all the more important for parents to educate kids about sex and talk to them about it.

I have become so strong now that rumors, abuses or trolls don't bother me anymore.

What you feed your body and brain is very important.

I overcame all the casting couches and stood out strongly as an independent woman.

This quarantine life is not new to me. I've been like this from my teens.

I think the pollution due to crackers is coming down every year. I hope more people join in towards celebrating a non-polluted and eco-friendly Diwali.

Tejaswi Madivada

War Hope Year

I don't like the concept of crackers. Diwali is a festival of lights but we have a lot of sound too. I don't know how and why. It isn't good for Mother Earth especially the animals around.

Good Art Why

I was always fascinated by the stand-up comedy shows from my childhood.

Ways Way Up

Working with Ram Gopal Varma is a great experience. He is such a wonderful director and no other director gives freedom to the actors like him.

Tejaswi Madivada

Work Great Freedom

Honestly, the only reason 'Ice Cream' happened was because it wasn't a commercial film.

I was dating someone and wanted to get married to him. But just because casting couch exists in TFI and I work here, he didn't respect me.

Tejaswi Madivada

Work Respect Wanted

If I put up a hot photo, people think I am only interested in doing raunchy roles or special songs.

Once you eat, talk, share, sleep, wake-up with the same people, you tend to form bonds.

Ram Gopal Varma saw my pictures and called me for a meeting. He signed me on to play Vishnu Manchu's wife in one of his movies. He did not give me dialogues, instead he asked, 'What will you do if you were Vishnu's wife and this is the scene?' He explained the scene and I gave my inputs.

I got offered to do an OTT film with Nawazuddin Siddiqui two years ago that I was uncomfortable doing because it had a nude scene. I was asked why I can't do it again if I did it before, many didn't realize I've actually never gone nude for 'Ice Cream,' it was just a publicity gimmick.

I have my own logic. I don't listen to anyone unless it's logical to me and not many people understand and appreciate my thinking.

Unless Understand UN

I don't have any differences with my family. I just don't have them as a part of my life.

I feel there is no prescribed notion about how strong or how smart one should be. I rather believe one should be themselves and be true to everyone.

Tejaswi Madivada

Art Very True

Well to me Bigg Boss just reiterated that TV is not reality and reality is not easy.

Tejaswi Madivada

Well Us TV

Just because I belong to the film industry, people should not be judgmental.

'Ice Cream' is a very different horror thriller. Something unusual and super natural happens to two persons in a house and I am sure that those scenes will definitely scare the audiences.

I've been very interested in dance from my childhood and I used to teach dance to some students.

Tejaswi Madivada

I never thought I will become an actress.

Tejaswi Madivada

I've stopped reading news and even in the movies and web-series I watch, I'm ensuring that I'm watching only positive stuff.

Tejaswi Madivada

I like hugging, holding hands or monkeying around with the people I like. That's my way of letting them know I like the them.

Tejaswi Madivada

Maybe people don't understand my openness. In fact, if someone randomly comes and hugs me, I'd hug them right back. I am all for free hugs that make people happy.

Tejaswi Madivada

I always wanted to be part of a realistic film where there is less to act and more to live.

Tejaswi Madivada

I'm not looking for any particular genre or role because I will pick up a role based on my mood and instinct.

Tejaswi Madivada

Popularity is the last thing I want.

Tejaswi Madivada

I would watch several English comedy shows and I have always wanted to be a part of one.

Tejaswi Madivada

But I've always admired Tamil and Malayalam films, and language isn't a barrier for me.

Tejaswi Madivada

I have been following an English web series and was inspired how Hollywood actresses express themselves and bring out their personality.

Tejaswi Madivada

So I want to make it clear that I want to be an actress and do versatile roles. I am only trying to bring out the actor in me.

Tejaswi Madivada

If believe if you've found a guy, you should give your 100 percent. But being single is the best thing in the world. I will be single as long as I can.

Tejaswi Madivada

I would rather be single than be someone's girlfriend because that's not my identity.

Tejaswi Madivada

To me 'love' is not just marriage and kids. It is companionship.

Tejaswi Madivada

I don't want a boyfriend. I want a friend with whom I can be myself.

Tejaswi Madivada

I eat everything and some days I eat too much, but I read this quote, 'if you cant control what you eat, you cant control anything in life.' It keeps playing in my head and then I exercise a lot.

Tejaswi Madivada

Not married, not planning to also.

Ever since I discovered this place, it was always my dream to do a 'princess' photoshoot here at Chowmahalla Palace.

Tejaswi Madivada

Since I was part of the St. Francis College basketball team, I used to get the opportunity to go to various parts of the city for tournaments. It's during one such outing that I figured this is the Chowmahalla Palace! I still remember buying a ticket and getting into the palace with my team, all of us in our sports uniform.

Tejaswi Madivada

I still can't believe I acted in Ram Gopal Varma's direction.
