TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

I was born in Sydney, Australia and I also completed my education in Sydney. In 2005, I won the title of "Miss India, Australia" and after that I was offered many Indian commercials and films, but I wasn't able to take my decision to shift in India permanently. Though, those were  great opportunities for a young rising star, but I was thinking that making my career in India will be too much hard for me. However, I decided to accept an Indian film because I've been raised up watching Indian films from my childhood and i really know how to act in Indian films.

FIRST FILM

Film "Mumbai Mirror" is my first Bollywood Indian film. Its story depends on the inappropriate use of drugs and alcohol in dance bars. My role is of a journalist and I've to stop that business of alcohol running in dance bars whereas Sachiin Joshi is doing the role of a police officer. Film's producer is Prakash Raj and he's also doing the lead role in film. When I heard that I was burst out of happiness. Prakash is my favorite actor and besides it whole the crew members helped me a lot. That's the reason my first film is a great experience for me.

EXPERIENCED

Every actor though they belong to television or South Indian film industry, they only wish to show their acting abilities in a Bollywood film. Before the film "Mumbai Mirror", people used to ask me that "would you work in a Bollywood film?". Now after taking my experience from Tamil, Telugu and Malyam films, I've also gained the experience to work in a Hindi film. I'm happy to be known as an All India performer.

BEGINNING OF YOUR ACTING CAREER

My parents belong to Bangalore and Tamil is my mother tongue language. I"m so fluent in Tamil language, but I think I've learnt many things from my first film. Film director K. Balachander guided me very well. He is the one who introduced me in Tamil film industry. Balachander introduced me to famous super stars Kamla Hassan and Rajnikanth. It was a great honor for me to meet famous stars in my very beginning.

PROBLEMS YOU FACED?

Like Tamil language it was also hard for me to perform Urdu dialogues fluently, though my role is of a Journalist, so I had to pronounce each and every word correctly in Urdu. 

UPCOMING PROJECTS

Bollywood films are famous worldwide. I don't want to persuade myself as a dancer and actress, but I want to persuade myself as an artist too. I wish to work in all Indian cultures and different languages films as an Indian performer. Now a days I'm concentrating on different projects, when it gets finalized so you'll know it.
