'What is wrong in doing what a director like Soori wants me to do?'

Aren't you worried that you would be considered only for glamorous roles?

No, I don't. Look at the careers of some all time great artists like Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and even Trisha. At the beginning of their careers, all these artists were referred to as sensuous looking glamour dolls, but they were all able to prove their mettle as good performers later.

Sridevi is my idol and I remember her for all those hip shaking dances she had done in films like Chandni and Mr India. It has also happened to many Kannada artists like Malashri also. I am sure that transformation will come to me too.

I took up a profession in films and modelling even while studying my dental course only because I had a strong passion for it. What is wrong in doing what a director like Soori wants me to do? Not all artists are lucky enough to get to work with directors like him so early in their career.

There are my other films which are also in line for release. In films like Januma Janumadhalloo, Nannavanu and Vaayu Puthra, you will find me bubbly, lovely and trendy, but not sexy!
