She says, "I owe my reputation in Bollywood to Maniratnam. Through the film 'Rakth Charitra' my popularity augments and the credit goes to Ram Gopal Varma. I'd be left with more offers coming my way. Because, the mode of Ram Gopal Varma is so unique and the film is supposed to be a great one."She regrets the blame game prevalent in Bollywood saying, "Once a film turns successful the director and the lead actor of the film are acclaimed. But the failure of the film results in lead actress' loss of opportunities."
