INTERVIEW
Have you been disturbed by fake
social media accounts , rumours?
My reaction was typical of “Why
Me” as some friends also got
messages for money from these
fake accounts. While earlier I used
to be disturbed by link-up rumours,
now I just laugh them off as the
people I care about know the real
me.
Do you see yourself working in a
regular 9-5 job?
The idea of me working on a 9-5
job is hilarious as even going to a
regular college was a big ordeal for
me. I cannot sit in a place for more
than maybe a couple of hours. But
acting and dancing are my passion
and I can keep doing them for
several hours without feeling bored
or tired.
What is your mantra for success?
In the entertainment industry hard
work accounts to 60 percent of an
individual’s success, whereas lady
luck accounts for the rest of it.
Before I got my present role as
second lead in Putta Gowri
Madhuve, I had small roles. But
this serial brought me recognition
and brickbats due to the character I
play. (laughs) . Keeping my
confidence consistent through out
has helped me be where I am.
THE DREAM BOX
How did you become a sensation
on Instagram?
I still have very little knowledge
about it and just used to post
pictures earlier as I have a habit of
fiddling with my phone camera
clicking pictures. But while the
positive comments made me feel
good the bad ones got me down so
I never comment on anything that
my followers write there.
