Whenever my films are released I will ask the opinion from 2 of my close friends and my parents. I will ask the opinion of my dad since he is an actor. I will be very happy when he says that he liked my acting very much.

He will not simply appreciate me because I am his daughter. He will not be biased in criticising me. His comment will be frank and straight forward. His comments have helped me in my growth. At any point of time, he will not advice me. He use to say that when we act in a role we should live that role and will also say not to compare with any other role.
This lesson was a guide to me in cinema and made me successful. My mother Sarika saw the Hindi version of 3. She appreciated me very much. Whenever I act in a film I will live that role. Even the crying scenes in 3, I did not cry for the sake of acting. I felt the pain of the role and cried really.

After 3 I am acting in the Telugu film which is the remake of the Hindi film Dabangg. Pawan Kalyan is the hero of the film. The shooting of this will be completed soon. This film gave me immense happiness. In whatever film I act, I will change myself according to the role.

Donning village girl was very challenging for me. I also did this with perfection. Right from my young age, I use to write poems. Very shortly I will be making a musical album using these poems. I like music very much. I learnt music systematically. I will compose music for films when time comes. I will also use my songs for my films."
