I would say I was not working in the real sense in 'Paiyaa.' After doing very heavy scenes in my first two films, in 'Paiya,' I was romancing a girl, talking all sorts of funny things, and doing all light things just as if I were not acting!

I always remember what my dad told me when I decided to turn into an actor. He was emphatic that whatever I do, I should get accepted by the audiences who watch my films.

I just want to be fit because I want to look nice without a shirt.

I had to look powerful in 'Paruthi Veeran.'

I had to go for physical training for 'Aayirathil Oruvan.' I had to do stunts which required huge leaps.

There's nothing experimental about 'Kaashmora,' as it's a blend of fantasy and entertainment. The only experiment we did was with my makeover in the film.

For me, Surya's 'Varanam Ayiram' is a big inspiration.

I took home the pattapatti underwear that I wore in 'Paruthiveeran' for nostalgia's sake.

I loved Suriya's performance in 'Vaaranam Aayiram'; his expressions in the movie, especially the train sequences, were really fresh.

I do hot oil treatments at home while I'm cleaning my house or whatever.

I love using Mario Badescu Facial Spray while traveling. Sometimes the air circulation on the plane makes my face dry, so it keeps me refreshed and hydrated.

I can't go anywhere without Chapstick - the store, the gym, traveling. I'm the one person that's, like, putting it on every two seconds.

I wash my face, steam it, and put on a mask right after because the steam opens up your pores. I put the mask on for ten minutes, wash it off, and then melt an ice cube all over my face because that tightens your pores. Then if it's nighttime, I do a night cream or serum or an oil, something to keep your skin moisturized.

I think everyone should be their own individualized person.

I look at myself, I compare myself to other people, but then I make myself humble. You know what? God created you this way. You're you.

I'm very traditional. I want to have kids. I want to be - not a stay-at-home mom, but to be able to take care of my kids and have a family and cook. A white picket fence and a dog.

I walk out the house, and there's paparazzi. There's certain things I can't do if I wanted to date or go on a date. It's like, I have to worry about people taking pictures, and it's crazy.

I've always been into volunteer work and charity work.

If you like it, wear it.

I like to wear clothes that look the best on my body, which is why I wear a lot of crop tops and high waisted bottoms - it gives me more shape and makes me look taller.

When you love yourself and are able to indulge in yourself, and you're grounded in your 'yes' or 'no,' it's nothing to ask a guy on a date.

Every woman has different needs and wants.

If one person did one thing to be successful, that doesn't necessarily mean that's your story, too.

I want to stress to people to be themselves instead of trying to be like others.
