‘I don’t predict if a film will work or not, I take up a project if it makes sense to me.’
‘But I do have a sense of social responsibility, so I try to do characters which will have an impact on the people watching it.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nithya Menen<\/strong> is currently making waves with her Web series Kumari Srimathi.<\/p>\n

She opens up to Subhash K Jha<\/strong> and says, “What I related the most with Srimathi was that in her head, she was a very unconventional person. That was very exciting for me.”<\/p>\n

In Kumari Srimathi<\/em>, you play a 30-year-old unmarried woman with familial responsibilities. How did this role fall into your lap?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was told this really interesting line, that this is a story about a girl, who wants to open a bar in her village.<\/p>\n

I thought it couldn’t get more interesting than this.<\/p>\n

It’s not something has been explored before on screen.<\/p>\n

I also enjoyed the cinematic feel that was given to the rustic setting of a village.<\/p>\n

It was well-shot and colourful, and I felt it was a very interesting visual.<\/p>\n

What I related the most with Srimathi was that in her head, she was a very unconventional person. That was very exciting for me.<\/p>\n

Is it daunting to shoulder films or a Web series?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For me, it is important that there is a certain relatability with the character.<\/p>\n

Your sensibilities should match with that of the role you are playing.<\/p>\n

I don’t predict if a film will work or not, I take up a project if it makes sense to me.<\/p>\n

But I do have a sense of social responsibility, so I try to do characters which will have an impact on the people watching it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How do you see yourself in the hierarchy of stardom where women are supposed to look and act in a particular way in our films?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I hear something, if it doesn’t make sense to me, I can’t do it. It’s as simple as that.<\/p>\n

When you say, you see yourself in a character, it doesn’t mean that you have to relate 100 percent to every character.<\/p>\n

For example, I’m doing a film now, which is very dark.<\/p>\n

So it doesn’t mean that in real life, I’m like that. I try my best to do the kind of films which will have a positive impact on people. That’s very important to me.<\/p>\n

I do choose things like that, even if it just makes someone laugh or smile.<\/p>\n

How and when did you get interested in acting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t come from a film family.<\/p>\n

I come from a middle-class, education-oriented family.<\/p>\n

Becoming an actress was in my destiny.<\/p>\n

The first film that I did was when I was eight years old.<\/p>\n

It was an English film, called Hanuman<\/em>, and shot by French people.<\/p>\n

After that, I made a full-fledged appearance in the Kannada film,7 O’clock <\/em>. From there to here, I have never looked back. The journey has been quite interesting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Was it easy for you to reach where you have? Do you get the kind of roles that you wish to get?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not like I have never been a career-driven woman. I continue to strive for the right opportunities.<\/p>\n

I always kept a balance between my personal and professional life.<\/p>\n

I am happy that I get to do what I love and at this point in my career, I choose the roles that resonate with me.<\/p>\n

Your forthcoming projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Kumari Srimathi<\/em>, I am doing a Malayalam family comedy series, Masterpeace<\/em>, which will release next month.<\/p>\n

I am also shooting for a sweet love story in Tamil.<\/p>\n

Apart from this, I am shooting for a Hindi film, which will wrap up by next month.<\/p>\n
