I shopped at Harrods and Louis Vuitton, as they were top on my priority list. And that's when a friendly shopkeeper told me that I could get mugged as my luxury bags were screaming for attention. And he gave me garbage bags to cover them. So here I was walking around in London with garbage bags in my hand.

I was taking a connecting flight from Vijayawada to Hyderabad and Kajol was on the same flight. We were waiting for the lift and when I got in, the doors began closing. Kajol and her manager were all set to get in, but by then, the lift began moving up. I was so embarrassed that when I met her later, I apologized for the goof up.

There's not enough awareness about healthcare and people don't realize the importance of getting a timely health check-up until it is too late.

I'm not very comfortable with skin show.

Even when I meet people, they start talking to me in Telugu, even though I'm a Kannadiga. But my character in Hello Guru Prema Kosame' will change that image of mine. You'll see me as an urban city girl in glamorous clothes.

I've always been like this, very slow, I like to work aaramse.

I love being part of Tamil movies.

We're living in an era where the audience are welcoming content-driven stories, and not just asking to see actresses as glam props.

To be honest, I never even planned my career in South. I simply went with the flow and took things as they came.

When I was young I did not know about the Telugu film industry. Then I forayed into it and one project led to another.

I am really excited to be launching my very own app. I have always enjoyed keeping in touch with my fans and interacting with them but with this we take it one step ahead since it's so personalized.

Even if I had not become a doctor like my parents, I would've done something to do with academics.

I am not an actress who demands for only business class tickets.

I hate those actresses who want everything to be luxurious.

I think one needs to be passionate about food to be in the food business.

In Jarasandha,' I can relate to my character pretty well, considering it is about a progressive and smart girl. She is a small time model, who is quite forward in her thinking.

There are quite some interesting roles. Just take my career for instance. I played a vivacious aerobics instructor in Porki.' In my Telugu debut Bava,' I played a lively girl from a village. In Udayan,' my Tamil debut, I played a soft spoken Brahmin girl.

After working in Porki,' it took a long time for me to sign my second Kannada film. But, I didn't plan that break.

I'm happy to do good roles, irrespective of language.

I always yearned to explore the entrepreneur in me.

I have this special connect with Tollywood, some kind of a Karmic connection.

It's one of those once in a lifetime opportunities for me to be sharing the screen with a star of the stature of Pawan Kalyan, and I jumped at it. The intensity that he brings to the screen is incredible, he's a phenomenal performer.

Being a South Indian, I think it was easier for me to pick up the languages on the go.

I think proficiency in language helps greatly with acting.

I cannot wait to see Salman Khan, I feel like a young fan.

I'm hoping to do more performance-oriented roles.

There are many people who are unable to eat even a single meal in a day and it is our responsibility to help in whatever way we can.

Humanity has to step up, take some time out consciously for nature, and help it recover itself.

People are forced to become doctors or engineers today. It makes no sense to force children to study something they are not interested in. I believe each one should be encouraged to follow their dreams.

I never planned anything in my life.

When I am not shooting, it gives me time to follow my other hobbies.

Strangely, I was just not interested in biology.

I like all languages equally.

Language is no longer a barrier for artistes.

I have a Husky named Blu. One would think, given his country of origin, that he would love a cold water bath, but he is a third generation Husky who has quite adjusted to the climate in Bengaluru.

Unless you are born into an army family, you are never quite prepared for life with someone from that background. These are people who are putting their lives on the line to protect the country and everyone in it, and to be married to someone like that seemed like a risk.

'Mass Leader' not only gave me the opportunity to work with Shivanna and that too as his romantic interest, but it also brought me together with a great team.

I have fantasized about people I haven't worked with for sure. Sometimes, when am watching a film, I'll be thinking, Oh my god, I should've got this scene or this song.'

Sometimes, when I look at Bollywood, I think, Damn, this is dream stuff.'

You can't plan the best day because it just happens. But if I had to plan it, then I would go away for long drive for sure.

I consider myself a very bubbly girl who takes only the good from any situation that comes my way in life.

The same way that we as humans stay groomed in summer, shower more and get the occasional haircut, pets need to be groomed too - nothing drastic, just a trim and some cleaning to keep fleas away.

I believe traveling to new places and experiencing different cultures and traditions really helps you to broaden your perspective towards life.

My father hails from Shantigrama in Hassan, but my family moved to Bengaluru. Even though I was born and raised in Bengaluru, I have strong ties with my roots.

The experience of chilling in the Dead Sea is beyond words!

I have always played the homely girl who's clad in traditional attires which is why I get a lot of saree and jewelry brand endorsements.

Crop tops with high waist skirts and palazzos with a lot of glitter have a very party vibe to it.

I've seen celebrities like Mammootty and Rahul Dravid traveling in economy class.

When I got a call to be a part of the Save Governments School initiative as an ambassador, I happily accepted. I even adopted a government school for a small amount of Rs 5 lakh.

I am actually a big planner, but I have learnt to take it easy.
