It took me some time to understand Telugu. Although I am from Andhra, English happens to be my language. Acting in 19 Revolutions, therefore, came naturally to me. It was a wonderful experience.

You did Black after that?

When the offer came, all I could say was wow! Acting in a film with Mammootty was the highest point of my career. Renjith, the film's director, told me I was to play a de-glamorised village girl with no make up. I asked, why me. I was the girl who screams on television in English and wears weird clothes! Renjith replied, `Because you have a very Dravidian face'. I gave everything to the film. I cried when I had to. Without glycerine.
