My teachers were surprised to see me in bridal wear: Malavika

Teen sensation Malavika Nair won good acclaim and walked away with top laurels at eminent award shows but the actress says that she took acting seriously only last year. “It was during the making of ‘Yevade Subramanyam’, I started to enjoy acting and decided to make a career in showbiz; in fact, I actually started enjoying acting wholeheartedly,” she exclaims.

The actress, who recently gave her 12th exams, is elated that her teachers liked her performance in her recent outing ‘Kalyana Vaibhogame’. “Initially, my teachers told me that it's too much of a risk to get into films at an early age. But after the getting the Filmfare Award (for ‘Cuckoo’), they have started respecting me a lot for balancing both films and studies.

Now, they go the extra mile to teach me,” she smiles, adding, “They were bowled over by ‘Kalyana Vaibhogame’. As a matter of fact, they were surprised to see me in the role of bride in the film. They were like, ‘Is this our Malavika’?” So is she open for roles which require her to sport skimpy outfits? “If there is something that I haven't done till now, I will do. It's not like commercial cinema is wrong. I totally respect people who do that. But my taste is not just that and I can’t wear something I’m not comfortable at,” she signs off.
