Q: Can you compare your characters in ‘Sita Ramam’ and ‘Hi Nanna’?
A: ‘Sita Ramam’ is set in the 60s and 70s, while ‘Hi Nanna’ reflects today’s generation. Both are emotion-based, but my character in ‘Hi Nanna’ is a new-age girl with many emotional layers.
Q: ‘Hi Nanna’ is said to be a story in the background of a father. How does it connect with your relationship with your father?

A: Baby Kiara is a disciplined and cute child actor. She plays a crucial role and touches the audience with her performance.

Q: Any plans for a Telugu web series?
A: At present, my focus is on Telugu films. While I balance Telugu and Hindi projects, web series require time and language facility.
