Are you looking for different roles in Telugu movies?
I���ve done love stories and I���ve also done something different in films like Malini 22. But love stories work the most in Telugu.
Are you planning to sing more songs in your films?
I don���t sing professionally, I sing because people who make my films want me to sing. So as long as they want me to croon in the film, I will sing.
I���m not a professional singer where a music director will call me and ask me to sing a song. It���s usually the director���s call.
You are shooting in Vizag, do you find any difference between Telangana and Andhra food?
I���m not really a food lover, I almost eat everything, but I like spicy food, and I���ve tried everything available here. I���m not yet sure about the Telangana and Andhra divide, I need to get used to that still, but definitely there is some difference. The food in Andhra is spicier and oily. It���s fiery and not to be eaten always.

How is the working experience in the present movie?
This movie has been fantastic. The happiest, I���ve ever been in my life. I just love the whole team, everyone, it���s not just the co-stars. They are a comfortable group of people. I���m very fond of Baba (cameraman), Kranthi (director) and I���ve already worked with Sarwa (Sharwanand) before. This movie is a love story and I���m playing a Muslim character.
How is it to work with Sharwanand?
We���ve already done a film together; he is like a good friend to me. We hangout quite a bit because I know Sharwanand well, otherwise, I don���t usually hangout with lot of people. He is a good actor; I enjoy working with actors who know their work.So I enjoy working with him. Both of us have a nice chemistry in front of the camera.
Are you a food lover? Did you find any difference between Telangana and Andhra food?
I���m not really a food lover, I almost eat everything, but I like spicy food, and I���ve tried everything available here. I���m not yet sure about Telangana and Andhra divide, I need to get used to that still, but definitely there is some difference. The food over here is much spicier and oily. It���s fiery and not to be eaten always.
You have already acted in Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil and Kannada. Will we get to see Nithya in Bollywood too?
There have been a lot of offers but I don���t think I���ll do a film just because it���s a Bollywood film. It has to make sense to me. It���s never been about the language. I���m not really interested in doing a Bollywood film. But if I feel there is something in a very interesting space because Bollywood does do very different stuff now. So, if I get something that interests and excites me, something new, then I���ll do it. But I don���t know whether it will happen or not.
You studied journalism, so does that reflect in your films or the way you choose your films?
N o b o d y goes to college and learns anything. All of us just go to college and waste our time and to pass our exams. So just learning journalism does not mean I���m good at it or any of the journalists are either. There is no difference, it���s just class and it���s just college.
Recently we have seen you in couple of advertisements. Do you choose your advertisements?
I don���t choose advertisements, I know Prakash Varma very well, the guy who directed and produced both the ads. These are the only ads I did because I trust him. Otherwise I don���t do ads.
What is Nithya���s take on marriage and is she seeing someone?
Aa���that is too personal, I rather not talk about my take on marriage. It���s too personal and close to my heart.
