I suppose everybody has their time and now is mine. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Do you feel it helps to have a godfather in the industry? </span><br />I wouldn’t be able to answer that because I’ve never had one. I don’t know how different things would have been if I had a godfather but I’ve come so far without anybody’s backing. <br /><br />I’ve done 11 movies in three years without anyone recommending me and I’m very happy with the way my career has shaped up. <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section2"><div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="70.3%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/998353.cms" alt="/photo/998353.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Do you feel that the glamourous image that you have acquired will come in the way of you being offered serious films? </span><br />I agree that I have this glamourous image but honestly, I don’t know how I’ve acquired it. <br /><br />It’s come to me without any effort from my side but I quite enjoy it. I suppose it’s because the audience have perceived me as being glamourous and I think that’s a plus point. <br /><br />About not being offered serious roles, well I make the best of what I’m offered. I enjoy comedy and emotional drama but I always enjoy trying out something new.<br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section3"><div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="70.3%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/998355.cms" alt="/photo/998355.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">If you are offered a dream role but one that demands a lot of exposure, would you accept it? </span><br />Firstly, I don’t know how to exactly define exposure because everybody has different parameters. But I am very uncomfortable with kissing and such physical disclosure on screen. <br /><br />And if you’re uncomfortable, it’s bound to reflect on your performance so I’m quite clear about my limits. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">What is your goal as an actress and how many years are you willing to give yourself ? </span><br />I have no clear-cut goals. What I know is that I’m very serious about my work and as long as enjoyable work comes my way, I’ll continue acting.<br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section4"><div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="53.0%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/998356.cms" alt="/photo/998356.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Do you have a life apart from films? Is there anything else you would want to try out in the future? </span><br />Of course I have a life apart from films. As of now I cannot think of anything else that I would like to do. <br /><br />I’m very focussed and serious about my career — it’s what I enjoy the most, it’s my creative outlet and my bread and butter. <br /><br />I do have a life away from films but presently, that takes second place; my career comes first. </div> </div>
