Hansika was (re)discovered by Puri Jagananth when he saw her on the sets of a Bollywood film. “He saw my work and said that he’d love to have me in his new film. I heard the script and loved it. So, I said ‘yes’ to the film,”says Hansika. For someone who is still in her teens, hansika plays her cards quite well. In spite of being bombarded with offers from the South, She is choosing her films carefully. “I would have never accepted this role if I had to play the role of a 20 something girl. The beauty of this character is that I play my age and yet the movie revolves around me. I have my priorities right. I refused a movie opposite Ravi Teja because it had lot of skin show. I am not ready for that. “She also refused some good offers with Mahesh Babu and other senior members in the industry all because “I didn’t feel it was right for me”.

In less than 10 days of her movie release Hansika has managed to create a large fan base in the city. there are websites dedicated to her and fan blogs. “The most beautiful moment of my life was when I came to  the city for a showroom inauguration. My fans followed me all the way from the airport to the store and some broke open my car window just to get a glimpse of me. It was crazy and I loved all the attention.” With Tollywood offers continuing to pour in. Hansika plans to make the best of both Tollywood and Bollywoo. For sometime who won 13 awards as a child atiste, “language has never been a barier,” she says, adding “Tollywood is a great industry. They are extremely professionl and co-operative. Allu Arjun was fun to work with.”

What’s impressive is the fact that Hansika is juggling her newfound fame with her studies. ” I am doing both class 11 and 12 in one year from the International school in Mumbai. I go through my books as and when I get tim. But more academic, my mom wants me to interact with friends of my age. I might be a star in the film world, but otherwise I am a normal kid.”

In spite of having a CA to manage her finances and a scretary and manager to manage her career, hansika still gets her pocket money from her mom. “These are little things you need to do remind yourself no matter how big you become, you are yoursel. My mom is always ther to ensure that my head remains firmly on my shoulders.”
