“I remember when I became an actress and when people would come and ask...” — Shriya Saran Quote

I remember when I became an actress and when people would come and ask me if they could take a picture with me, I would say no. Then my mom told me, 'Who do you think you are? You are what you are because of them. The day they will stop coming to you, you will be no one.' I realised I was wrong.

It is nice to know different languages and cultures because it opens up your window to life.

I am old-fashioned and like to be taken out for a movie and dinner.

I'm from a typical middle-class family and I grew up in a place without a theatre.

My mom was a chemistry teacher.

Through the years, I have realised that when you have had fun playing a role, it comes across on screen.

I was able to go on stage and work until it felt right or felt good. It meant that I very quickly realised that it was the job for me.

I probably revisit in my work the moment at which I realised that dreams couldn't be reality.

When I was younger, it was more like I wanted to make a name for myself and then I realised as I got older, I should embrace the whole family aspect of it instead.

Suddenly, I realised: this was what I wanted to do. I didn't know how to do it; I just knew acting felt right.
