I only take up roles that really appeal to me, and like to break the rules as an actress.

Dhanam' is one of the interesting scripts that I came across. It centers around me.

Thankfully 'Uyir' happened. Things have changed for good since then.

When I did 'Uyir,' I initially feared to do it. It was a controversial role. But thanks to my friends, they motivated me and helped me come out with aplomb.
