A learning experience is the best way to sum up my first film credit. It's hard to break into the film industry, and it was a minor role but still my only shot at the movies while I was doing theater.

I am constantly evolving. If I believe in a particular philosophy today, I may have a contradictory opinion tomorrow.

I'm not sure if career can be planned.

I was always motivated to make my parents proud and wait for that one opportunity. Finally, it happened with 'Yevade Subramanyam,' and since then, I have never looked back.

People see me as a person who can make them some money, which makes it hard to make real friends. I'm asked to do a lot of stuff for free - to wear certain clothes, turn up to events - people use you to make money. I think that's why I tend to jump into relationships.

Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.

I pride myself on being a good friend, and all my friends can attest to that.

I grew up in a family that was multifaceted, sexually oriented, and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working, my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.
