Nobody ever thought of me as dumb. They always knew me as cerebral, a thinking person. Educated and so on. But I was always given glamorous roles.
I don't mind doing glamorous roles, comic roles, weekly shows, or something different from what I've done earlier.
I've rarely played glamorous roles. I don't mind looking plain on camera.
I don't want to be typecast as a heroine doing just glamorous roles.
There is a fine line between being glamorous and vulgar. I am open to glam roles as long as they don't look vulgar on screen.
I probably marketed myself all wrong. I had exotic looks; I should have done those glamorous roles that exuded 'oomph.' But in my head, I was always an actress first.
I was doing well for myself and wanted to play different roles and not just be happy portraying glamorous characters.
So far, I'm known for doing more commercial and glamorous roles. But I don't mind doing a short film.
I'm happy to be getting accolades for my role in 'Endrendrum Punnagai;' I'm getting powerful roles and would star glamourously if the script demanded so.
I'm fortunate enough to pull off glamorous as well as strong, character-driven roles.
I did some glamorous roles and even wore a bikini in the Telugu film 'Drona,' but the audience was aghast. Some said, 'Please don't ever wear a bikini again!'
I do glamorous roles only when the script demands it and that too with limitations.
I dont have any problem doing glamorous role, but give me some meat in it.
In commercial cinema, roles for heroines are limited to being simple or glamorous. I don't want to fall into an image trap.
