Sandhya is the latest teenage sensation in Kollywood after Kaadhal. Her realistic performance in Kaadhal, combined with fresh looks has attracted the Malayalam directors too. She is acting in a Malayalam film Alice in Wonderland directed by Sibi Malayil.

Though she plays the role of sister to Jayaram, the whole story revolves around her. Vineeth acts opposite her. Jayaram has Laya for company. “The film has a musical romantic subject which will attract the youth”, says the director. In the meantime, Sandhya has been offered yet another film under Shankar’s banner. “Though I get lot of offers, I choose my roles. My first priority is studies. So I will have balance my time between school and shootings,” Sandhya explains. Experts from an interview with her…




Sandhya, what sort of a girl were you at school?

Till last year I was going to school. I was just an ordinary and silent girl. I won’t speak much, would mind my own business. If anyone comes and speaks to me I would answer in a word or two. I had very few friends. I used to speak only with them. But now everything has changed.

Did you have the thought of becoming an actress? Or did your friends influence you?

No. I’ve never thought of acting. There were 42 students in my class. In that I was the only one who wanted to do Visual Communication.Otherwise, we would discuss movies just like any other students. Never has the thought of acting come to me..

Just like it comes in Kaadhal, have you ever fell in love?

No. I studied in school only for girls. I m have not even ridden a scooty. My father would drop and pick me up from school.

There were some oppositions for Kaadhal?

It is a true incidence. Just like what has happened can’t be stopped same is the case of the movie. What is wrong in the movie? While studying in school, how a girl falls in love, comes to a decision and how she fails at the end is what the story about. We have to take the good things from it. What will happen if someone falls into love like the characters in the movie is what the theme is. It can even be taken as a warning. After seeing movies only people get spoilt is all humbug.

Sandhya’s plus and minus?

I will take good or bad, whichever comes. Will analyze the positive and negative of any situation and then decide. This is my plus point. Anger is my biggest weakness. But in cinema one can’t get angry. We should take it for our own good.

 

Even with a small fame, people get egoistic, what about you?

I still am the old Sandhya. But don’t know about the future. Anything may happen in the future. With regards to me I want remain as I am now.

If you get the national award for Kaadhal?

I’ve already got bigger awards than that. Stalwarts like Balachander sir, Bharathiraja sir, Shanker sir, Editor Mohan sir and other people of the industry have all appreciated me. There is no bigger award than this. We shouldn’t be waiting for the award. If it comes I’m happy.

Stories are made exclusively for the heroes. Do you have confidence that there will be stories made for you?

I am note commenting on that matter. Whatever my character is I will do with full involvement. I want role which will have some acting scope. It’s in the directors hands to offer me that’ sort of a role. My job is to do what the director tells me to do

Movies you are doing now?

Alice in Wonderland in Malayalam by Sibi Malayil. Simbhu’s Vallavan, then an untitled film.
