Actor Hansika Motwani has revealed that until a few years ago, designers would refuse to give her clothes because she worked primarily in South films. She mentioned that there had been a change in attitude for the last few years, noting that the designers who once ignored her are now eager to provide their clothes for trailer launches and events.
In an interview, she said, “There have been many designers and they were like ‘oh, no South actor, we don’t want to give you clothes. But now, they themselves come ahead and they are like ‘oh you have an event, you have a trailer launch, why don’t you wear us?’ I politely said yes. There has to be a difference between them and me right?”
The actor said she did not hold a grudge against them and said, “I was like ‘they will come back, I will work really hard’. And when the same people have come back I am like ‘now you want to style me, dress me, fair enough’.”
She expressed her perspective by stating that regardless of the films she has been a part of, she considers herself an Indian actor. She said, “Few words don’t describe me. I always said I am an Indian actor, I work in Indian cinema. These lines are getting blurred. I’ve been acting for a while now and I’ve always been said I’m an Indian cinema actor.”
The actor recently tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend Sohael Kathuria, in Rajasthan. On the work front, the actor will next be seen in ‘Man,’ bankrolled by Madras Talkies.
