But she was quick to rubbish such rumours and said she had no grandiose plans to enter politics of any sort.

Now, having signed a multi-crorre movie deal with Anil Ambani"s Reliance Entertainment teamed with her husband, the reputed director Mani Ratnam, she is also in the limelight with gossip about her re-entry into direction.

Yet again, Suhasini shot down wild speculations, saying that she enjoying TV anchoring and doing meaningful character roles. Talking to the media in a casual tÊte-À-tÊte, she said, "Though I did programmes in Tamil, I was never as enthusiastic as I am with Telugu people. During my entire career, I came to Andhra Pradesh only on shootings and I never learnt anything about its topography and its people. Now, I am thorough with these details. I studied a lot about AP."

Suhasini is anchoring a Telugu interactive chat-show on a Telugu channel which is a great hit among audiences.
