I want to improve with every film, including being better groomed.

I'm the romantic sort and would like to watch films that I can relate to.

Romance doesn't have to be portrayed physically. I love being part of romantic films, but I wouldn't venture into something I'm not comfortable with.

For me, work is worship, and it is not just the number of movies I make but the quality which matters most, irrespective of how they eventually fare at the box office.

For 'Zoom,' as the script demanded it, I opted for a shorter hair-style, as I play the character of a modern girl who is self-made.

I do not know how I developed the interest for baking. If I am not shooting, I head back home and start baking my favourite cakes and cookies.

I have to maintain my stardom.

Instead of signing 10 films a year, I'd rather do a couple of films where I can give my best performance and am appreciated by audiences.

A good performance from me - no matter what kind of film it is, or who I'm acting with - will help me get better offers.

It's nice that people are keen to work with me.

I knew that I always wanted to work even after I got married.

If you look at my career graph, I have always chosen roles that are performance-oriented.

I am just lucky to be blessed with a good metabolism.

When people come offering you quality work, I think that is a result of the sheer hardwork and dedication I have had towards my profession.

I loved my work, and it was a conscious decision to give my best all the time.

I have always managed my professional and personal life to the best of my abilities.

Its nice when your admirers address you in an exclusive manner.

I did not know that I was being called the 'Sandalwood Princess.' It definitely feels good, but more than such titles, it is their love and affection behind such titles that makes me happy.

For an actor, personal and professional life are two different things, and marriage is something which happens in everyone's life, and it is the same with an actor, too.

I have always chosen to portray roles which inspired me and mostly that I enjoy it in the first place.

I honestly do not see any difference sharing the screen with Yash post our engagement. We started our career together, and it has been a wonderful experience working with him as a co-actor.

I'd like my man to protect me.

Fitness, for me doesn't mean a bikini body or a size zero. I just strive to be and feel healthy.

While I don't claim that I feel no pressure, I have strived to take up only those scripts that appeal to me. I've been lucky that the ones I chose were also liked by audiences.

Yes, I faced camera for the first time for '18th Cross.' It was a great experience for me to be part of a film after working in some television serials.

I don't believe in dieting. I don't think I can ever be on a diet.

Before joining the industry, my impression of Kannada films was red and yellow outfits, hilarious sets, and dance movements. But I'm glad I'm wrong.

I've been charging what I deserve. I believe I am worth every penny of it, and if filmmakers think so, too, they will pay me.

'Alemaari' is an experimental cinema of sorts. If audiences don't understand it, the film will fall flat.

I have never considered doing action films.

After the success of 'Krishnan Love Story,' I have decided to work only on good films.

I used to represent Mount Carmel College in cultural activities, and a friend in the team told me to try my hand at acting.

'Hudugaru' is a remake of the Tamil film 'Nadodigal.' The film is about what happens when relationships between friends or lovers is taken casually. The film will appeal to youngsters and families alike.

If you look at Indian cinema, it has always been about the 'hero.' So it is not just a characteristic of the Kannada film industry in particular. But one of the reasons to explain the 'hero-centrism' in our industry could be the fact that the audience here really enjoys the action sequences and the 'punch' dialogues.

I see romance as a state of mind. I may find it in a candlelit dinner or by walking in the rain.

I'm quite feminine.

I like to do one film at a time. But sometimes, when projects get delayed for reasons beyond my control, I juggle more than one.

In 'Drama,' I play a flirtatious girl who uses her femininity to get things done.

Neither me or Yash interfere in each other's work. This has been the case even before marriage when we shared about our works as friends.

Every year we go to Shirali, which is between Murudeshwar and Bhatkal. We have our roots there. The most special part of the trip is visiting the Shri Chitrapur Math.

I never did films for the sake of money alone or for any favour or obligation.

I love to ,and an alarm clock will ensure that I wake up and leave work on time.

I grew up listening to this adage that hard work never fails. It is very true of 'Adhoori.'

I believe that your personal life does not have anything to do with your professional life.

I used to love the idea of being in love, even though I hadn't been in love before.

I don't work out as often as I would like to, so a water sipper is technically not an essential item. But I make up for the lack of exercise by drinking a lot of water.

Yash has always been straight forward in his approach and is very open and candid in his opinions. I guess this is why most people approach him for advice.

Getting the right script that will work at the BO and relate to the audience is what matters. You also need a great director to bring the script to the screen in a form you envisioned it to be.

Working with senior and star actors is always a positive and more satisfactory experience, but I have always stressed upon the quality of the script.

I am not a gym person, and I keep myself fit by just being active and eating my meals in moderation. I can't stand going to the gym and running aimlessly on a treadmill; it's boring and monotonous.
