Lakshimi Rai, looks like the shape of the number One, and looks as lean, and at the same time attractive. She had entered the Kodambakkm arena through the film 'Karka Kasadara'. Her height is the specialty for this angel from Belguam.
Our heart became freezeed when we hear her talking like a cool, chilling breeze of Ooty. We wanted to know about the next step of this beautiful peacock. So we met her, at the hotel Vijay Park.
She talked to us along with her sister, which happens to be an added bonus for us. Even before we started asking her anything, she asked, 'Have you seen 'Karka Kasadara', how was the film?'
We just nodded our head and started asking her questions!
Were you mad about Cinema, even in your younger days?
Nothing like that, I started showing my head in ad films when I was studying in 8th standard. I have quenched my artistic thirst, by participating in dance classes, stage programs on daily basis. Then in the years, 2003 and 2004, I was selected as Miss Belguam. Then came the chance to act in films. Now I am giving you interview as an actress.
Did you have camera fear while acting in the film 'Karka Kasadara'?
Definitely not, because, I have already acted in a Kannada film before, so I had acted in the film 'Karka Kasadara' without any fear whatsoever.
How did you get the chance to act in films?
I used to take photos of myself often because I was doing modeling. My photo album had come a round in Kodambakkam. Udhayakumar sir happened to see it, in the next minute; I was signed as the heroine in his film. Now I am acting as the heroine in a Telugu film with Srikanth. Even then, I do have an eye on Tamil film field.
You were acting in the film 'Kurukkezhuthu', what happened to that film?
The director of that film told me a story before I started to act in that film. But, when the shooting started, the story was entirely different. So I had refused to act in that film.
What about this 'angel's family?
Ayyo, sir, don't praise me too much. Her face had turned into blossoming flower in shyness. My family is a Rai family.
Rai, means Aishwara Rai?
Hello sir, just hear me out without teasing me. There is no connection between that Rai and us. My father is a businessman, mother is a housewife, two elder sisters Reshma and Ashwini. I am the last one. We used to fight with each other often, but we would turn into peace loving doves in the next moment.
I was born in Bangalore, and grown up in Belgaum. But I started to love Chennai now. I even started to learn Tamil a little (The way she said this is 'Tamiinglish' was just beautiful). Oh, I have forgotten to tell you one more thing. I have completed a six-month course in acting in Mumbai, those experiences is helping now.
Are you not acting very glamourously?
Is it so? But I don't think so; I think I had acted in a manner that was necessary for the scene. I am going to say the same thing, like all other actresses say. "I may act glamorously but not in a obscene way" I do want to search for good character and act in them.
What is the secret of your beauty?
My Laughter.
Does your household members support you to be an actress?
My parents are afraid because of the love they have for me, when I have to go to outdoor shooting, leaving them here. However, they never tried to stop me from doing things I wanted to do.
Do you think it is advisable for women to come into the cine field to act in films in the prevailing situation of the film field?
Why not? But there are many reasons for this fear among women, to start with, their parental permission. Even if they allow them in the beginning, they may fear, if that support would continue till the end. But if you can team with the good people in Cinema, there is no other filed that is better than Cine field.
What is your next plan of action?
Only now my film is released. Here after I would carefully select my film based on good story, director and good banner.
Her words revealed the level of her maturity.
