People in Andhra Pradesh treat me like a girl next door after 'Ala Modalaindi.' I feel at home here.
I'm not really interested in doing a Bollywood film.
The second you become an actress, people take the licence to make many assumptions about you. You're in trouble if you interact with a director/actor. You're in even more trouble if you don't. When I started out, a single YouTube comment would make me sad for days, and I'd wonder how people could say such nasty things about me.
I'm serious, in general, and I guess I cling onto the little freedom I have offscreen. Having said that, I am funny and, at the same time, detached from a lot of things in life.
Had acting not taken off, I would've been glad to become a teacher.
It doesn't feel great to be compared to Genelia or anyone. I don't want to be compared, and I would like to think I am different.
I've been blissfully ignorant about the result of my films and don't get swayed by success or failure.
I'll never forget the dance number that I shot with Anushka. The choreography involved a lot of intricate dance moves. I'm at least 7 inches shorter than Anushka, so I had to wear the highest heels I've ever worn in my life; throughout the song, I even injured my knee a couple of times.
