Having been paired opposite Santhanam in both her Tamil films, Vallavanukku Vallavan and Inimey Ippadithan, Ashna Zaveri’s third film — Meen Kozhambum Mann Paanaiyum with Kalidas Jayaram is next. In an earlier interview with DC, she had revealed that she plays Pavithra, a happy-go-lucky girl that has a Tom-and-Jerry relationship with Kalidas. She added, “I referenced Jyothika’s role from Kushi. Her relationship with Vijay is similar to mine with Kalidas. We rag each other a lot.”
The Inimey Ippadithan actress has shared the screen with actor Prabhu —for whom Meen Kozhambum... is the 200th film. “I have immense respect for him and noticed that the bigger the star, the more humble they are. He gave me acting tips and encouraged me. He even arranged a lavish lunch for Pooja Kumar, Kalidas, and me. It was sweet of him, and we have bonded so well that I call him uncle,” says the actress.
When asked about her fashion statement, she adds, “I am very particular about my look and I keep myself updated when it comes to fashion. I mostly style myself, but, when I opt for a designer, I decide my look. I have my own set of shoes, clothes, and earrings which I mix-and-match for my films.”
The actress, who has been selective in her career, believes that the quality of work matters. “I am very picky about the script, the hero, director, and producer. I don’t want to be a heroine who just exists,” she says and signs off.
