To start with, I got into the film industry through Hindi, but now quite comfortable in four languages Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. Though I have performed in 54 films of which 30 belongs to Tamil, I am more comfortable with the Tamil film industry than any other language. People here show a lot of respect, which makes to think that my Tamil fans have adopted me. Of course and that is the reason why I am able to write and speak in Tamil now. In one of my upcoming movies 'Kovilpatti Veeralaxmi' I have dubbed my voice for the first time. I have the plan of settling here. I think I have to achieve a lot in the industry. I'll concentrate on my career and marriage would be of second option and will be in the field till my fans are pleased with me. Being an openhearted person, I am very honest in my outlook. I use the make up kit only for the film shoots while I love cooking when I'm leisure. People are excited about my slim figure for which I have no specific reason for it and moreover I think it's inherited from my family.
 
There is a National Integration Festival in Delhi day after tomorrow in which our prime minister is going to honour the artistes. I've been invited among the South Indian actors along with the Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai and Urmila Matondkar and like any other person am also very eager in participating that function in Delhi.

This summer, guess who's going to add fizz to Fanta? Southern sex siren Simran! What is interesting is that Simran has been chosen over Jyotika, the current heartthrob in Tamil films. One of the reasons for zeroing in on Simran is apparently because she is seen as the only female star in Tamil Nadu who can create as much impact as a male superstar! She's also quite popular in the other south Indian states like Andhra and Karnataka. Yes, the Punjabi lass with a Mumbaiya accent had indeed arrived on the Southern screen. And after the success of her debut 'Once More', her mini skirts, petite figure and impish smile made Simran the good-luck charm for many-a-producer. What was ironical in this success story is that Simran never intended to simmer in the south as her upbringing, background and personality all pointed to a successful stint at Bollywood. In fact, Simran recalls that her foray down south was more to rid of the ennui. "It was not a once-in-a-lifetime role or any such thing. What made me say yes was the opportunity to share the screen with Sivaji Ganesan among others." For the actress, life under the arch lights always had a fairytale beginning. She anchored Superhit Muqabla - Doordarshan's very own countdown show on Metro Channel a decade ago after performing on stage for her college. This pretty-young-thing was then spotted by none other than Jaya Bachchan for ABCL (Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited) and Simran debuted with Tere Mere Sapne - a comic thriller that unfortunately failed to enthuse the box-office despite a zany storyline and good acting. Like many others of her ilk, the lissome lass too had to shake a leg and bare some skin to get noticed in Tinsel world. While most of her earlier films portrayed Simran as a glamour doll, of late she has made even critics sit up and take notice of her talent. "Now I intend to play on well defined characters. No more, running around trees without any purpose," she says. With a string of releases in Tamil with top directors like Mani Rathnam and a few more to boot in Telugu, apart from likely projects in Malayalam, the actress is undoubtedly having the best time of her Tinsel life - her Punjabi background and Mumbaiya accent notwithstanding!
