I believe in healthy competition not jealousy.

Women in Tamil Nadu are repressed. This must change.

I've always worked at a steady pace, listening to my heart.

Even when low-brow comedy ruled, I ensured my lines were not vulgar.

Like any other, this is an industry where complexes, ego and politics abound.

I love cooking. I prepare kolambu, maintain the house... just like anyone else.

I'm married to films, my life revolves around movies and I want to work here till I die.

We must ensure that the men in our homes vote for a party that will work for the development of women.

Many suggested I should move to Hyderabad. But I prefer remaining in Chennai and travelling to and fro.

After a hard day's work on the sets, I can't imagine allotting time to pander to the whims of a husband.

There have been quite a few films where we comediennes have come together, and all of them have been hits.

In Telugu, there can be ten comedians in one film and everyone gets along, without feeling intimidated or marginalised.

Playing heroine was never an aspiration. If I had been particular about it, I would have faded out of the scene long ago.

Earlier I used to be scared of ghosts. Now, after having done so many paei films, I start thinking to myself 'Naaney Pei.'

While in 'Komban' I played the mother of Karthi, a relatively quiet character, the mother role in 'Kanchana 2' was a stark contrast.

As long as I am on the sets I am like a goddess, goody-goody and nice. If there is something that upsets me or irritates me, I don't show it there. I wait till I get home and direct it on my family.
