No, I'm not getting married: Sanjjanaa

A decade after she debuted in Tollywood, Sanjjanaa has come a long way.
No, I'm not getting married: Sanjjanaa
They say you become what you eat. Listening to Sanjjanaa speak about marriage, her love for 'spicy and tangy Andhra food,' becomes evident. 'No, I'm not getting married; what is there in a marriage? At one end, I just sit down and think, you get married, then what? Like change diapers? I think I can't do that even at 37,' she retorts.
It's been a decade since she debuted in Tollywood with an uncredited blink and a miss role as a child artist in the 2005 romcom Soggadu.
But her search for that 'big hit' continues. 'I haven't done well. I could've done better, but you know my father is not a producer, my mother is not a director and I'm a self-made person. If anyone says that they didn't have to struggle, it's not true. I don't look at struggle as struggle, but a challenge to overcome and enjoy,' she quips.
Well, for a child who remarked 'mama I want to be there on TV, I want to go to Miami Ink and get a tattoo,' it does look like she's got lots to be pleased about herself besides the tattoo. 'I have about seven releases lined up in 2015. So that's what matters. I worked really hard and I'm contented and looking at delivering hits,' says the Bengaluru girl who's acted in 38 films in all four South Indian languages.
And she's proud about her talent for languages. 'I can speak English, Hindi, Sindhi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. I speak 60 percent Malayalam and Tamil romba nalla teriyam (I know Tamil very well), because my mom is from Chennai. My dad is from Mumbai. Now, I have become proficient in Telugu.
Initially, I only knew a couple of words ' jaragandi (please move) which I picked up from Tirupati as I used to visit the place and second one was bagunnara (are you fine),' she beams.
Right now she's super busy juggling between films, store launches and building her new pad in Bengaluru. Looks like there's no time for love either. 'Lets just say, I haven't met anyone so fascinating yet,' she says smiling.
Well, as her tattoo reads: never give up! 'It's my attitude and it's me. I worked really hard and I'm contented.'
