  • I did my schooling in Kerala. After that I moved to Chennai to pursue my bachelors in engineering, the Chennai life influenced me a lot to take up a career in modelling.

• Debut Work?
  • My friend was searching for a model for his Tamil movie promo song but he failed to get any model who can appear in a swim suit so he offered me that role since he saw me in bikini in a Goa tour. I accepted the role, once the shoot was over I decided that this is going to me my profession

• Do you have any God fathers in this field?
  • No godfathers as such.

• Who inspired you to get in to this field?
  • No one in particular.

• Any movie offers?
  • Yes I do have few offers but I was reluctant to take up any as I did not find any exciting roles yet.

• If given an opportunity to appear in an item song will you?
  • Definitely ,there is nothing wrong in doing such a role. No matter how glamorous you appear as long as people love it there is no harm in doing it.

  • I don’t mind if it is a glamorous or character role the only thing i would look for is whether it is going to suit me.

  • Both are very supportive nobody can sustain in this industry without their support.

• You seems to be bold and rebellious when compared to normal malayali female?
  • I do what I love I believe in myself, I don’t find myself rebellious and since I am doing things that normal malayali’s dare to do, they find me rebellious.

• How would you take criticism like you spoiling the dignity of malayali females.
  • Dignity is what you define. I don’t generally respond to criticism I stay calm and focused. I don’t believe in responding to each and every criticism.

• How supportive is your husband?
  • It is all because of him I am still in the industry. He supports and guide me a lot. I should say he is the one who molded me as a model.

  • No special diet or workouts… I eat everything but only take it less, I mean the quantity would be less.

  • Before getting in to this industry one should decide what kind of a model they want to become. Be confident in what you do. Follow your dreams. Forget about what others gotto say about you.

• Being a short girl of 5ft how can you survive in the industry ?
  • There is a misconception in India regarding the height of models. There is no such rule that a model has to 5ft 8’’ plus. All you need is talent,confidence and attitude. Unless you have these qualities 5’8’’ height wont take you any further. In the international modelling circuit they don’t show any discrimination based on your height. They rather encourage you big time if you have talent and passion.

  • I do have friends in the industry and i am getting good response from them.

• If you get an opportunity like sherlyn chopra in kamasutra will you accept it?
  • No question about that!! For sure I will accept it with all my heart.
