What is the difference in the industry now from the time of your South Indian debut (Malayalam film Indraprastham) a decade ago?
I think Malayalam cinema is more open to experiments now. Filmmaking here has become more stylish and technically more sound. For me, it was a break that I took following my marriage and then, motherhood. I am really happy that my comeback is in Malayalam.
What about the days of the ABCL launch?
It was after my performance in a school drama that I was selected to anchor the film song based programme 'Superhit Muqabla' for Doordarshan. Things happened beyond my wildest imaginations and frankly, I never knew then that it would take me so far.
