During the interview, while interacting with the host, the Damini actress agreed that before marrying Harish and relocating to the USA, her parents took every decision of her career, i.e. from signing films to doing particular scenes (kissing).

Further, she said that she is back and is ready to reestablish herself. Meanwhile, she also said that people in the industry have welcomed her with open hearts and are eager to be a part of her new innings. 

Furthermore, talking about her plans of stepping into the industry, the 'Hero' actress said, "I have met some people in the industry (didn't disclose names), the filmmakers who are quite versatile. Be it dance, music or action, drama, romance, comedy, or anything else, I have met such talented filmmakers. This excites me. In my career, I have done less comedy. I have a deep urge, till today, I haven't done an item song."
