Snigitha says that rumours are publicity

[Tuesday, November 30, 2010]
Snigitha has come to Chennai for the release of the film Nandhalala. When asked how that she is acting in Mysskin’s films alone, she said,” It happened on its own. There are so many heroines here who have reached to the top in a single film.

I have spoken to some of them. But I got to the top place by acting in a single song. I never came here expecting anything .Mysskin first told me the story of Nandhalala and I took the flight from Indore and came here.

But to some reasons the shooting of this film got postponed. At that point of time, he made me dance for the song Kannale Kuthathe. That place became so gala. I myself never expected that I can dance this well. Mysskin was responsible for this.

I have so happy when my Chennai friends told me that one of the reason for the success of Anjathey was this song also. Then Nandhalala has begun and now it has been released. It is such a beautiful and rare story. Now I will try to become a leading actress in Chennai.

About the rumours linking me with Mysskin, my friends told me that is also one kind of publicity. So I kept quiet. Even now also there are so many rumours. I have read some of these and I have laughed. Publicity is important for those who are in cinema. Because of this I want more rumors please.”

She was spotted having dinner with Prabhu Deva in a star hotel and this has aroused the anger of Nayanthara. It seems that there was a great clash between her and Prabhu Deva because of this.

When asked Hansika Motwani about this, she clarified that Prabhu Deva is like her brother. It seems that she refused her call sheet for the next film to be directed by Prabhu Deva.

Hansika while speaking about this said,” Prabhu Deva is my mentor. He is also like my brother. I really enjoyed while working with him in Engeyum Kadhal. It is highly defamatory linking us together. This act will spoil our image. This cannot happen anywhere. I am only 19 years old. How is it possible for me to think that Prabhu Deva is my lover. His is my guide. I consider him as my brother.

Many are asking me that why I have learnt salsa from him. He taught me because it was required for the film. He taught me salsa as a teacher. I am in cinema from the age of 15. I have to go a long distance. I have to achieve a lot. I was shocked when I heard the news that I was in love with Prabhu Deva. I am able to understand about the people that under what pretext they are spreading this rumor.

I don’t even have the time to speak to Prabhu Deva. For the last one month I am shooting in Pollachi. I have not been to Hyderabad for the last one month. I have met Nayanthara once. She is very good. I am very happy that both of them make a good pair. I am very eager to act in many films directed by Prabhu Deva but due to non availability of call sheet it was not possible for me to do so. May be in future I might act in his

Acting and directing are two eyes. I want to see a scene with my both the eyes at the same time. I am currently acting in a film which has Krishna in the lead role. This film is being directed by Ramanarayanan. I am also in a film titled Aanamalai Kandhan. I am also acting in the film which has Vikram in the lead role directed by Susindhran. I am also having Arjunan Kadhali and Oru Koodai Mutham in my hands. I will not act in one or two scenes. I will be doing full length roles.

There is news that you are starting some organization?
