I was not wary of playing a mother on screen but wasn't sure if I could do justice to it. Would I be able to showcase that kind of overpowering love without being a 'real' mother?
My mother tongue is Telugu. I was born and brought up in Tamil Nadu.
I firmly believe the industry does not let down performers.
In 'Aarathu Sinam', I play a wife and mother. It's a very homely character, quite contrary to what I've done so far.
