'I want to die in a bikini!'
Were you a loner?
Yeah, I guess, I guess. When somebody would ask me who is your best friend I would say my books. I was that boring. I guess I reached a point in my life when I wanted to break free and know what happens in the outside world. That's when I told my daddy I did not want to pursue medicine and not be a doctor like him. That was a huge setback for him.
He thought I would take …ummm…what's that course called…Science in Junior College. But I opted for Maths, Eco and Commerce.
After two years of college I thought of participating in a beauty pageant, just like that. And when I told my parents I want to take part in the Miss Andhra pageant, they were like: 'Kaun se angle se you consider yourself a beauty queen?' Well, I said I was confident, had no stage fright and could answer well. These were my plus points. Does not matter if I was not a stunner, because at that time I was not. I weighed 60 kg, had a double chin and looked like a mum of six kids.
No way!
Honestly, I can show you the pictures.
Surprisingly I was crowned the beauty queen. The judges were impressed with my answers.
Do you remember the question?
Yes, I do. I was asked what did I think of Pakistan as an Indian and India as a Hindustani. They were stunned with my answer and I vaguely remember what I said.
Can you recall?
Umm… yeah, I said something like as an Indian I think Pakistan has a mental block against stretching out a hand towards friendship and unity.
I did not have amazing costumes like the other contestants in all the rounds. I just had one saree to wear throughout. That was it. That gave me a lot of confidence, I was like 'okay fine, beauty is not only about chiseled features it is also confidence and how well you speak and what comes from within'. And then I told my parents I want to pursue something in the glamour field. I did not want to pursue science. Then one fine day I said I wanna go to Bollywood and then I wish to go to Hollywood. I packed my stuff -- I had a Skoda then -- drove down to Bombay, put up with some of dad's relatives. My dad was like 'No way am I helping you out.' I started calling up people and that's how it all began.

So there was zero co-operation from your parents.
Yeah my mother wanted me to stay back and do a spa or a beauty salon like her, get married. She wanted me to pursue medicine.
They told me acting can only be a hobby not a profession, you cannot live for the rest of your life just by acting.
How long have you been in Bombay?
It's been four years now.
