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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Tejaswi Madivada

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.

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.

Tejaswi Madivada

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.

Tejaswi Madivada

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

Tejaswi Madivada

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

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

Tejaswi Madivada

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