Personal Quotes

"I will accept any film that has a good storyline. I know most Kannada films have a good story, and the industry people are really hardworking. Another advantage is that Kannada films are finished on the planned date. As for the roles I would like to do, I should say that I would like to work in different types of roles. I would like to do comedies as well as emotional roles. I am basically a director's actor, and it is left to the director to get the best out of me." (November 20060

"I got into modeling when I was doing Economics at HR College in Mumbai. I did commercials like an ad for noodles with Shah Rukh Khan and Chyavanprash with Amitabh Bachchan. The Lakme ad I worked in is still being telecast now. I did some television programs for Sony and Zee TV. While I was doing the commercials, I also did a photo shoot. Some of those photographs later landed up at Ramoji Rao Productions, who offered me a role in a Telugu film. It was by sheer luck that I got Jogi."
