She's in that interim period..she's considering, accepting and nixing movies. The buzz was that Shruti Haasan might make her debut opposite Madhavan in a Chennai movie.
Meanwhile, the daughter of the estranged Kamal Haasan and Sarika performed at aD' rock gig in Mumbai and walked the ramp at the recentlywrapped-up Fashion Week in Delhi. She's been confabulating with the media plenty. Curious to pub a 20-ish star daughter's mind, I ask:
How come you've opted to walk the ramp already?
Rehane has been designing for me for a long time now. One day, in Chennai, we were chilling at her studio and discussing who should close her show at the Fashion Week in Delhi. She asked me to do it, so there I was.
You've already started following fashion trends and gurus.
Ha, not really But I do like Sabyasachi Mukherjee's work..it's eclectic and unconventional. I also like the colours and textures he uses. I'd love to walk the ramp for him.And there's Rehane, of course. Among international designers, Jean Paul Gaultier and Chanel are wonderful.
"Acting is serious business. The idea of a 40-year-old playing a role of a 20-year-old seems silly to me. Equally silly is the idea of a 16-year-old trying to act 21. "You're doing a bit of everything – music, movies and now fashion.. won't acting be a tough call?
I have trained in acting in Los Angeles. But if you ask me, my priority would be music. I'm a very selfish musician. I try to bring music into everything I do. You saw how I sang at Fashion Week.
You turned down movie offers at the age of 16. What made you change your mind?
Acting is serious business. The idea of a 40-year-old playing a role of a 20-year-old seems silly to me. Equally silly is the idea of a 16-year-old trying to act 21. At the age of 16, I didn't feel mature enough to take on acting.
Having grown up in an actor's house, I've always wanted to be an actress. But I wanted to weigh my options. When I discovered music, I fell madly in love with it. Now I know that I can strike a balance between them both.
Do you regret rejecting any of the movies at 16?
No.
So you mean at 40, you will not do roles showing you as 25 or 30?
Depends on the amount of Botox I get! (Laughs) If I think I'll be able to pull them off, I'll do them.
"I respect dad and am very concerned about his opinion. Whenever our opinions differ we talk things through. I would be lost without him."Your parents' take on your acting plans?
I think they always knew I would join films. Dad is happy with whatever I want to do. He lets me make my decisions and encourages me.
And mom?
(Pause) She and I always respect each other's decisions.
Have your parents and you been offered mother-daughter and father-daughter roles?
Plenty! But they didn't work out.
Are you aiming for Bollywood or south Indian movies?
I see them as Indian cinema-they're no different to me.
Which actor would you like to act with?
My dad, for sure.
