‘ I have to generate more money’

The year 2018 has started off on a great note for actress Hansika. The bubbly girl’s new film with her mentor Prabhu Deva has just hit the cinema halls on Sakranti. She talks about her future plans and goals...

Having signed three films of various genres, Hansika says she is accustomed to celebrating Makar Sankranti in a traditional manner, flying kites on the terrace with friends in Mumbai. “Some of my earlier movies have also had a Sakranti release. This year it has been very special, as I have been getting appreciation for my performance as a con artist in Gulaba- gavali,” she says.

ON HER MENTOR, PRABHU DEVA

Prabhu sir was my first film’s director, my last movie’s producer and my co- star in my recent offering. It was awesome working with him. As a filmmaker, he is a taskmaster and has a different approach to get the best from you. As an actor, he is a chilled out person and gives a lot of space and there’s lot of spontaneity on the sets. It was fun working with him. This character is something I have not attempted so far and I loved it.

STRONG SCRIPTS IN THE KITTY

Honestly, I have been enjoying this phase of my life. It’s been good so far!

Aranamani was one of a kind work. My upcoming films too have strong scripts and do justice to my character. I am looking forward to them.

FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Everyone knows that I have taken land outside Mumbai to construct a building for my adopted kids. I have to generate more money and it is a long process. But I have been taking care of my kids as always, looking after their food, education and health.

FITNESS CONSCIOUS

I do a lot of yoga, cut down on my diet to stay in shape. You can't call me a fitness freak, but yes, I am fitness conscious. I think looking fitter is more important, because as it is the cameras show you bigger than what you are actually. I am just trying to look my best on the screen.
