N:
Oh all my best friends are back in Surat. Whenever I need
to talk, I call them. They just know from my tone what my
mood is.
BW:
Suddenly, you’re career has revived. You’re
doing heroine roles. How do you feel?
N: Elated. Excited. I owe it all to my
fans who’ve been with me through thick and thin. Not
many people know this but my fans recently performed a paal
abishekam for me to celebrate my presence in Billa. I couldn’t
believe it. They called me and said, “Ma’am
we want to do this.” And I said: “Why not! And
it was so fantastic. One of my most memorable days.
BW:
We’re sure it was also your hard work, determination
and intelligence. So, what next?
N: Oh, I’d love to do strong character
roles. My fans say I have it in me and I’m thrilled
they feel I can do greater things. Indira Vizha is my next
movie. I’m the heroine there. In Perumal, I’ll
be playing a rowdy girl in a half saree and glasses! I’m
looking forward to what lies ahead for me.
BW:
Nothing but great stuff, we’re sure. Anything
you’d like to say in particular?
N: Well, I’m socially very conscious.
I’m really troubled about how little civic sense many
people living in Indian cities have – just spitting
on the road. There’s that saying: “In America
you can’t spit in public but you can kiss, in India
you can’t kiss in public but you can spit! I’d
like all of us to be more civic minded. Be sensitive to
the environment. And just one social message to everyone
out there: don’t drink and drive, please - there are
people waiting for you at home.

Any special message for your fans all around the world?
