Kannada actress Rakshita quotes
# ‘When I am the princess of South why should I go and beg in North’ [ About going to Bollywood]
# “I believe in destiny and god’s will. I think I am destined to marry early and I am happy to get the right person,”
# “Prem comes from a rural background. He is simple and straightforward. My life has been revolving around artificiality, but here is a person who is gentle and has his foot firmly rooted in the ground. It was instant liking and we shared a good rapport from the beginning. I don’t know when we decided to marry, but it was a decision that both of us made at the same time. ” [ About her husband Prem]
# “Many people told me that it was too early for me to marry, especially when my hands are full of assignments. But somehow I felt it is the right time. I wanted to marry at a time when I am in demand. Otherwise people would always say that I married because I had no offers in hand. ”
# “Please don’t say Ramya is my rival. We have become great friends now. I have had enough of fights and misunderstandings with Ramya. We have made up after a frank talk. I started the process of contacting Ramya and told her that enough is enough. I had a great time working in “Tananam Tananam” with Ramya. I had one scene with Ramya in the film and it was very good.”
# “Somehow I felt enough was enough and decided to take up different type of roles. I think there should be some glamour quotient in the film but it should not be overdone.”
