When did you first know that you wanted to be an actress?
Believe me, the desire to be an actress was not there even in my wildest dreams. No one from my family is into films. When one of my friends, who was anchoring a show on television fell ill, I did two episodes in her place. For me, more than doing the programme, the main attraction was the location of the shoot, Veegaland, (the theme water park) where I always wanted to go.
As fate would have it, Lohitadas Sir happened to see the programme and I was contacted for the role in Nivedyam. I told him I had not learnt classical dance and my involvement in co-curricular activities was pretty limited. I am more into music than dance. Anyway, he asked me to join the shoot the next day to play the heroine!
