When I studied in the college I was very interested in modeling. So I started acted in lots of Ad films. Because of this I got the opportunity to act in films. I debuted in a Kannada and then migrated to Bollywood. Now I am pairing with the super star in Tamil.

About the shooting experience in Tamil Nadu, I should say that Rajni sir, his daughters Soundarya, Aishwarya, director K S Ravikumar and choreographer Brinda moved with me very affectionately. I became very nervous when Rajni sir fell ill on the first day of the shooting. But next day itself he participated in the shooting. I was very surprised seeing his dedication. I was also surprised seeing his energy level. This time I did not have the time to go around Chennai.

During my next schedule, I will go to all the places in Chennai with my friend Soundarya. There is also a question that whether I liked Tamil Nadu food items. Soundarya had cooked various dishes from Rajni’s house and served me. All the items were vegetarian. Every food was superb. I loved Vattha Kuzhambu and More Kuzhambu very much. I went on tasting these dishes."
