MOVIES EVENTUALLY TOOK OVER MY SOUL

AN EXCLUSIVE CATCH-UP WITH AN ALLURING ACTRESS AND A WHIRLWIND PERSONA

- Ishwariya Krishnan

How did movies happen to you?

I had always enjoyed watching movies as a child, but when I was in eighth grade, I thought to myself, What if I become an actor?" I was so intrigued that I told my mother that it didn't have to be a lead role and that I just wanted to play characters. I just told her

I wanted to be an actor. I was so excited to perform, even if it was a minor part. My mother's friend assisted me with casting, and that is how I got my part in the film Jeeva".

What inspired you to pursue a career in acting?

In my first film, I had a lot of fun playing my role as Sri Divya's sister. It gave me some confidence, and I decided to pursue a career in this field as an outcome. I recall the memories from the movie Jeeva" where as a character artist, you don't get much in terms of facilities or anything; you just have to stand on the side of the road and stuff. But what made me want to do something was that none of these things mattered to me because I was enjoying what I was doing. A few things occurred to me, and I decided to give it a shot.
