My mother and father have always been my inspiration and pillar of strength. As well, my BharatNatyam dance guru?s Kathrine and K.P.

Rennu Dhillon International pageant coordinator and Srivennela Sitram Sastry garu have given me a lot inspiration, which has driven me and gave me determination.

of dealing with it. But it depends on the circumstances and how a person approaches
me. I am very friendly, and I love meeting new people. But I dislike when someone
takes advantage of that.
What is your Philosophy in Life?
When life pushes you back a step, take two steps forward.
Why Telegu movies as a launch pad?
For me I don?t look at Hindi Cinema, English cinema, or telegu cinema. Acting is an art, and more than where you pursue the art, it?s how you peruse the art. So for me rather than being concerned if it?s a Hindi film or Telegu, I look at the character I am being offered, the story, the cast, ect. So I am here to pursue my passion to become an actress, which I have done. Eventually I would like to do a Hindi or English movie if all is well.
How did you bag the lead in Vennela?
Director Deva Katta discovered my pictures on the Internet and contacted me. Since I am a model, and have won various Indo-American pageants, and I have done many Indian music videos, I was quite popular here in the US. He saw the rushes of my recently released Punjabi Music video, he was so impressed that he immediately offered me the role. I flew over to Detroit and did a screening test. I was very excited when he called. After hearing the narration of the story, and reading the script, I was even more impressed.
Do you speak Telugu?
No, I don?t speak telegu. That was one of the most challenging parts of doing this film. I actually learnt each and every dialog I had in the movie word-for-word. I even concentrated on the pronunciation. I spent extra time to not only learn the over all meaning, but the meaning of each word. It was a little difficult in intense scenes. But towards the end of the film it was much easier and I picked up the dialogs quite fast. It was very benedictional as well because I had to spend more time on it so I got a better feel and understanding for the scenes and dialogs.
How did you learn other languages with ease?
If you have interest in learning and the commitment to work for it, then everything is easy.
How do you feel working with such great artist like Raju Sundram, Raja, Sharwanand, Bramhanandam?
Having the opportunity to work with such great artist on my first film was amazing. We had such a great team! Everyone was very helpful and very kind, I really learned a lot. Raju Sundram Garu?s work is simply amazing. Raja has already proved him self to be an excellent actor. He is also a very sweet and impressive person. I have learned a lot from him. He did an excellent job in the film. Sharwanand was a lot of fun on the sets. He defiantly is an upcoming Super Star. He was very fun on the sets. He was very sportive and showed a lot of dedication. Which is influential so it was very helpful.
I eventfully would like to do my dubbing in the near future?
