and Beautiful
She is the latest sensation in Tamil industry. Dark
and dusky, her expressive eyes speak volumes. She is
still continuing her studies in Visual Communications.
Her entry into film industry was accidental. She feels
very lucky to have started her career with the most
happening star Dhanush. She is none other than Aparna
who plays the sexy gal in Puthukottayilirundhu Saravanan,
the latest flick of Dhanush. She spoke to the Editor
of Galatta.com in an exclusive interview.
 Q:You
don’t have a filmy background. How did you land up in
the hot Dhanush’s film?
I am studying third year visual communications at Loyola
College. I was selected a runner on the Miss Chennai
competition. This gave me lot of confidence to participate
in the International Beauty Pageant Show, which was
held at USA. I was crowned as “Miss Photogenic”. I was
flashed in all the local magazines. A chance watch of
my pictures by director Stanly through PRO Chandru drifted
me into films.
Q: How did your
parents react to your acting?
Look! I am also studying something, which is related
to movies only. Though my study is related to more of
direction course, acting is also a part of it. My parents
are very supportive to my decisions.
Q: Were you feeling nervous
to act with Dhanush?
(Laughs) Not really! But I have no knowledge about films.
So for the first two days I was very quiet. Later my
mom gave me lot of confidence and slowly I got out of
my fear.
Q: Tell us your experience
with Dhanush?
Dhanush was extremely cooperative. I learnt a lot while
acting with him. We traveled together for 3 1/2 hrs.
to Malaysia for shooting and we discussed lot of things
about films. He was giving me useful tips like to follow
a theory in acting, practice the dialogues in free time,
how to modulate for various characters etc. I was amazed
at the kind of knowledge he has acquired in such a short
period.
Q:How was working with director Stanly?
Stanly has understood the pulse of the newcomers. He
gave to lot of time from scene to scene. I am happy
I am given a meaty role in my first film itself. Thanks
to the confidence Stanly sir had in me.
Q:Being a student of director
course did you suggest any ideas to Stanly?
This is the first film for me. I was doing
whatever the director said. He knows how to take the
best out of me. But I was giving suggestions on few
things like my mannerisms etc.
Q:You are so revealing
and sexy in the very first film itself. Comment.
Glamour is part of the film industry. When you watch
the film closely I have never crossed my limits. Whatever
was required for the role I have done it. I have drawn
a limit beyond which I will never expose. I am clear
on that.
Q: Which part of your
body do you think is sexy? 
My eyes. I am proud of my eyes.
Q: What was your friends' reaction
after seeing your film?
I have only few selective friends. More than me they
were thrilled when they heard that I am acting with
Dhanush. They advised me on how to improve my acting
in my next film.
Q:Share with us about
your college from where heroes like Vijay, Surya have
come?
They are very encouraging to all my activities- be it
beauty pageant or acting. I am still a student. You
never get your college days if you miss it. I have had
my share of fun as a student. We are five friends who
used to volunteer for everything. I am a popular student
in the college.
Q: Any unforgettable incidents
while shooting at Malaysia?
It was my birthday (Oct 3 rd ) while shooting in Malaysia.
We were shooting in the famous huge ‘Chinese graveyard'.
Shooting went on till late night and I celebrated my
B'day in the graveyard (where people come after they
die). An unforgettable b'day celebration in my life.
No hassles, no sentiment. I perfectly enjoyed my day,
my work etc.
Q: We heard that the ghosts
at the shooting locale chased you in Malaysia?
(Laughs loudly) People there were saying that ghosts
haunt that graveyard. But they did not chase us. Do
you know a secret? On the other hand I can scare ghosts.
(Giggles) Chinese believe in supernatural power. They
have immense faith in their forefathers and implore
them.
Q: Who is your role model?
Undoubtedly Kushboo. A fantastic artiste One should
learn the body language from her. Her naughty smile
is enough to steal the whole show.
List Top 10 of your interests and priorities!
