Simran's Interview!

Below is an abstract of Simran's interview released in Telegucinema.com

With two films already released, let's see what the actress has to say about her comeback...

Q: You still look very glamorous! How do you manage it?

A: Thank you for your appreciation. Glamour or beauty comes from happiness. I am happy with motherhood. And I take life positively. My life is tension free.

Q: You had acted with top heroes like Chiranjeevi, Kamal, NBK, Nag, Venky etc. What made you accept a film opposite a comedian (John Apprao 40 plus).

A: The script was interesting and so I accepted it. I don't think too much about star value. For me, story is important. Nothing else matters.

Q: Did you miss the arc lights after your marriage!

A: No. It was my personal choice not to act in films until my son turns two. I wanted to enjoy a peaceful marital life, hence I stayed away from acting.

Q: How do you manage career and motherhood, as acting in films takes long hours from home?

A: I have planned it all. I made my comeback after a lot of thought. My son is my everything. And I know how to handle the pressures of my profession and my son's demands.

Q: Will you continue to play glam roles like you did earlier?

A: Why not? I am the glam queen, as the media reports (laughs). I don't mind playing glam roles. And I know where to draw the line.

Q: What are the differences you see in Tollywood compared to the time when you made debut a decade ago?

A: Young filmmakers are more disciplined and have better understanding of film making. Earlier, films were completely entertainment driven and nothing else. Today, they write scripts that accommodate comedian Krishna Baghavan and me in the lead role. Film making here has become more stylish.

Q: In retrospect, which of your films do you like the most?

A: It is a tough task. In Telugu, I think Narasinhanaidu, Nuvvu Vastavani and Kalisundam Raa are memorable movies. In Tamil, Vaali and Kannatthil Muthamittal are my personal favourites.

Q: Who do you think is the best among the current heroines?
A: Trisha, Nayanathara and Shriya are a doing great job.
