The challenge starts when you first come to Mumbai. But it's momentary if you win an award.

Hindi films are so deceptive. I thought Mumbai was this big, grand, beautiful city with sea-facing flats.

I am not from a film family or a Mumbai girl. The probability of getting a second chance is low, and so one has to be more careful.

Yes, I do come with certain reservations, and I'm not OK with certain things, but rather than focusing on what I don't want to do, I focus on what I do want to do, and I bring that energy, and that happens.

I did a whole lot of work before taking up my first movie. From TV commercials to Telugu films, I learnt a lot from them all.

My mantra is simple: work gets you work, and good work gets you good work.
