After being a heroine, you now play insignificant character roles.
In today's cinema, when heroines are not being offered significant roles, how can you expect us to play powerful roles? I am lucky to do some good ones in films such as Goa , where director Venkat Prabhu has worked the screenplay to make my role important.
Can you mention some of your films that stood out because of your acting skills?
I have done over 300 films of which I've played the heroine in 50. Some of my memorable films are Roja, Basha, Puthiya Pathai ( which gave me a big second round in the field), Chinna Goundar and Solla Marantha Kathai — I've mentioned only the films where I was not the heroine.
Which do you like more — the big or the small screen?
Each has its advantages and disadvantages. All I can say is I want to remain in the film industry.
Have you achieved what you wanted here?
I may not be a big star, but I am appreciated by one and all. I feel that's an achievement.
What's Sathyapriya in real life like?
Friendly, lovable and kind- hearted.
