# “Many people told me that it was too early for me to marry, especially when my hands are full of assignments. But somehow I felt it is the right time. I wanted to marry at a time when I am in demand. Otherwise people would always say that I married because I had no offers in hand. ”

# “Please don’t say Ramya is my rival. We have become great friends now. I have had enough of fights and misunderstandings with Ramya. We have made up after a frank talk.

I had one scene with Ramya in the film and it was very good.”

# “Somehow I felt enough was enough and decided to take up different type of roles. I think there should be some glamour quotient in the film but it should not be overdone.”
