I got busy with planting saplings after I started the Green Globe initiative.
There is a need to spread more awareness about environmental issues.
I was never considered 'a marketable hero', and never got promoted to that category. I am not complaining - I found another niche - comedy - which is equally enjoyable and brought me as much comfort as I need.
I have always been vocal about preserving water and living a nature-friendly life.
I was a little disappointed with the box-office performance of 'Dharala Prabhu,' because the theatres were shut down just three days after the movie was released. It had good scope to attract family audience and youngsters.
I have been getting proposals to play the lead from a long time but I rebuffed those offers. I wanted to work in a storyline that has scope for me.
It is really sad that there's no recognition at the national level for comedy.
I enact as a female in 'Guru En Aalu' for the first time.
I am a great fan of veteran artistes N.S. Krishnan and M.R. Radha. They had great social awareness and were never afraid to raise their voices against vices in society.
Comedy was never a scarcity in Kollywood. Comedians of great calibre have emerged from this land.
In 'Saami,' I take a poor dhobi's son for admission to a private school. The principal refuses for various reasons and finally he points to the boy's bare body. Immediately, I tear the furnishings off the office chair to convert them into clothes for the boy.
I am an atheist.
My character in 'Uthamaputhiran' will not speak much. But the audience would sure speak about my role after watching the film.
Dhanush is very comfortable to work with.
South Indian films have most number of comedians and to see them all on screen at times is unrealistic. I'm happy that the industry has room for so many of us.
There is no feeling of regret spending time on the campaign. I think working closely with Kalam made me realise how simple he is in life.
It is a great honor to be working with Rajinikanth.
After my debut, I had to struggle for seven years to establish myself in the industry.
I need solid roles that provide scope for performance, even if it is just a few scenes.
I am keen on doing negative roles.
