Do you think that the success of Aaptha Rakshaka has affected your career? Has it brought you any offers in Kannada film industry?
I don"t think that the success of the movie has affected my career in any way. And it hasn't got me any offers in Kannada films. But one thing is sure that I am satisfied with the kind of response from the audience for my performance in it. I had a desire to act with Vishnuji and that is fulfilled with this movie.

What are your next projects in Kannada?
At present, I don"t have any offers in Kannada. I've two projects in Malayalam and they are multi-starrer movie Christian Brothers and Shikari. I'm happy that I will star alongside Malayalam superstar Mohanlal in both the movies. Probably, I'm going to shoot both the films in the month of June or July.

Do you have a dream role, which you desperately want to play?
I don"t have any such particular role. The modern girls are totally different and they are financially sound and independent. I just want to depict such women. I want to act in both commercial and artistic movies.

Do you have any particular Kannada actor with whom you want to act?
I don"t have such a desire. Haan! Earlier, I had a desire to act with Ananth Nag. He is one among rare artistes in Kannada film industry. Once upon a time, I was desperate to act with him. Now, I don"t have any choice to act with any upcoming Kannada film actors.

How were your college days? Have you done any course in acting? How did you come into film industry?
I enjoyed my college days. I've done my post graduation in women"s studies, but I haven"t done any course in acting. I was more interested in modelling and I wanted to pursue it as my career. These day, modelling, where girls will get noticed, has become a stepping stone for film industry. With this recognition, they enter film industry. Most of girls choose modelling to enter films. But I didn"t have such intentions. Honestly, I was into modelling career when I started getting offers to act in films. At first, I rejected several projects, but later, I was forced to enter the industry.

Somebody had posted your profile in Jeevansaathi.com and it had hit the headlines a few months ago. What would you like to say about it?
Yes! Somebody had posted my profile, but I don"t know who it was. Suddenly, one day I got a phone call from the admin of the Jeevansaathi website for confirmation. He asked me, madam you have posted your profile in our website. Are you really looking for an alliance? I said no! Later, I got the profile deleted.

Did you have any boyfriend in your college days? Is there anyone, who wanted to spoil your image?
I had friends during my college days, but I didn't have such a mean fellow as my friend. Moreover, I was very decent girl and I used to be busy with my studies. I never used to joke around with friends. I don"t think I had any enemy, who wanted to spoil my career.

When are you going to get married?
Yes! Now I"m thinking of getting married. I'm in search of a descent boy, who will suit my image. I will marry very soon and will invite you also.
