The Weinstein story and the way it has shaken the roots of Hollywood has made apparent the fact that, across the world, there is a pressing need to recognize and correct the circumstances women subsist in, in order to move forward.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
It has been a fairy tale for an outsider, bouncing from one film set to another, choosing my films as assertively as those films chose me. And through this journey I have not once faced the dreaded syndrome of the 'casting couch.'
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Anger, pain and a tinge of joy are the recursive emotions I have been waking up to ever since I read reports on how Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed women in Hollywood for years. Some of these women are actors I have been longing to co-star with even if they reside in another part of the globe.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
In spite of its relatively nascent rise in popularity, tea joints across the country are romanticized, quite like beer pubs in the West.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I always celebrated my birthdays with my parents. There is no question of not being with them on that day.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I had a smooth take-off in Malayalam, I would like to explore more and take up films that are different in Tamil.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I am not revolutionary or experimental, but I am curious and love to explore and indulge in life.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
All my directors have tried to draw the best out of me at that point of time.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I am a director's actor. It is a director's medium, definitely. That doesn't mean I stop using my head.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I am comfortable doing glamorous roles and have no qualms going nude if the character demands it.

I have acted in 20 films in various languages and won 13 awards for my acting skills.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Malayalam actress Ann Augustine, director V K Prakash, writer Jayaprakah Kulur and I have planned to produce quality dramas and to take it to a wide range of audience. We are making some popular works into stage plays.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I've never been linked to a co-star or director, never had drunken stupors or been disrespectful of a producer's position. I don't have parents intruding in filmmaking affairs and so on. I'm a professional and like to look at myself that way.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Yes, I have had more commercial success in Malayalam but that doesn't mean I can't do with more in Tamil.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Tamil has given me an experience that's extremely rich from Vishnu's Pattiyal' to Chimbudevan's Irrumbakottai,' to even a small significant role in Ram's Thangameengal.'
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I have been part of films like Rajamanikyam' and Seniors,' which had genuine comedy and I am comfortable with the genre.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I am a greedy actor, and it upsets me losing work I have wanted to do, but that is a motivator not a dampener.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I don't believe in cutting down or increasing the number of films I do.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I felt I should get back to stage performances because I really enjoy them.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I started dancing at a young age. When I became busy with films and studies, dance took a back seat. Also, it was constricting for someone like me, who is not religious, to do something which is so deified.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I would like to be part of all kind of cinema and will jump at any opportunity that allows me to experiment as an actor.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Apart from being an actor, I'm an academician. I wanted to pursue something with which I could bring about a change in society.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I'm excited to work in Bollywood, but I want to be part of meaningful projects.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
It wasn't because of Striker's bad performance that I didn't sign any film in Bollywood. There wasn't much to do in Bollywood, and the offers weren't great too.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Changing age old patriarchal mindsets is a difficult long process and involves constant communication and dialogue.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
WCC is not an arbitrator, it's a collection of people who represent and protect the interest of women in cinema. We are an organisation that facilitates solutions for a just work space and don't see ourselves as arbitrators of justice.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Lack of dignity and equal opportunity at workplace for women in cinema is a truth that needs role reversal.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Shwetha Menon is my good friend and I have nothing against her. But, the Kerala State Award for the Best Actress has been given to her for Paleri Manickam' in which somebody else dubbed for her. I received only the second best actress award for my performance in Pazhassi Raja,' where I have dubbed in my own voice.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I just cannot fathom the criteria and the eligibility for awards as there is an ocean of difference between the state and national awards.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
'Striker' is a story of the human spirit triumphing over all odds.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I am super lucky to have a resume which has all kinds of filmmakers and films and hence experiences as a person and actress for me.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Professionally, I haven't done any film in 2013 as I was studying in NYU.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
See, modern dance forms have a pull because the youngsters can relate to it, but it makes me happy to say that in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, people still relate to classical art forms.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
I think classical dance is not seeing the evolution seen by classical music.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
Kerala audience is different because their expectations are very high.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
The reason why I returned to dance is simply because I love dance. I had also promised myself that I wanted to make more sense of dance, study and understand it far more in detail.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
As an actress I am totally open to offers as an individual and want to treat every opportunity with same spirit.
Quote by -Padmapriya Janakiraman
When the women in any other film industry are almost equal to men, in Malayalam only one or two women are among the crew.
