How it happened

I learnt Bharatanatyam at a tender age. When I finished my masters in Bio-technology, I got a chance to act in a film by popular director Logidas. Unfortunately, it did not materialise. So when Meera Kathiravan, his associate, asked me to act in his film, I didn't evince much interest. Moreover, it was not the role of the heroine. But the director succeeded in convincing me and the film was Aval Peyar Thamizharasi .

How it felt

It was exciting to see myself on the screen. I watched the film in a theatre in Tenkasi where I had been on a holiday. To my surprise, people recognised me and some even came forward to talk to me. They wished that I should appear on screen more often.

How life changed

After my debut, people recognise me wherever I go. Except that nothing much has changed. Acting is a passion for me. I would like to do more powerful roles and make a mark in the industry. I did not do any other film for nearly a year as I was waiting for a good break. Virunthali is a good film produced by Rajesh Gopinath for Gopika International and directed by Whaterman. This is my second film and I am awaiting its release — I am sure it will be a box office success.
